edited September 2013 in Ten Forward
Edited: Version 1.3

Gorn Decoder:

a = Tsi' ~ A = Trr'
b = Rsi' ~ B = Rrr'
c = Sis' ~ C = Srr'
d = Dsi' ~ D = Drr'
e = Vss' ~ E = Vrr'
f = Kss' ~ F = Krr'
g = Vas' ~ G = Vir'
h = Skk' ~ H = Srr'
i = Iss' ~ I = Irr'
j = Lis' ~ J = Lrr'
k = Fis' ~ K = Kisk'
l = Vis' ~ L = Visk'
m = Tiss' ~ M = Tisk'
n = Nak' ~ N = Nrr'
o = Yisk' ~ O = Yrr'
p = Ais' ~ P = Ars'
Q/q = Ska'
r = Ris' ~ R = Rrr'
s = Sya' ~ S = Sss'
t = Tiv' ~ T = Tss'
u = Usk' ~ U = Urr'
v = Vrask' ~ V = Vss'
w = Viv' ~ W = Vra'
X/x = Xisk'
y = Avisk' ~ Y = Aisk'
z = Yaha' ~ Z - Zah'

~ INSTRUCTIONS:

Every Letter begins w/ a capital, however, do not get this confused with the different spellings for a capital and lowercase version of a letter.

Sounds focus mainly on emphasizing the K, R, S, A, and I sounds.

[Will Fill In Sounds Soon]

- Ex.
Lowercase w = Viv' Uppercase W = Vra'.

- Example Word: word: Viv'Yisk'Ris'Dsi'.

~ Plans:

Some sort of 1rst 2nd 3rd, Singular/Plural System.

Complexity Boost.

Better Flow.

Pronounce!

    So... every letter is its own syllable?

    *Hint Hint* Gorn Language (beta)

    I would be glad if you had any tid-bits on this. I know you are good with Gorn, I am just trying to make a language for them. There isn't really a Canonical resource so might as well try.

    Remember, Gorn speak in hisses, clicks, and the like. So each letter having its own syllable may be correct.

    True, and they are a patient sort.

    There's certainly precedent in other fiction for needlessly long-winded languages - Entish comes to mind.

    Interesting project you have going there. But as far as I know, the Gorn are not allergic to F, M, and N sounds. And having a straight decoder-ring style English-to-Gorn letter-by-letter translation matrix does not a language make. An alphabet, maybe, but a language requires a bit more.

    That's kinda dodgy so far - it can't even translate most suffixes unless you separate them.

    Hello Sskaled! I will try my best!

    And to sander, yes, I know it is just an alphabet ATM, but again, it is still in the workings to become more of a language.

    ++ Well another thing... I am mostly making a language from scratch, so give me some time. There is not any true translation at all of Gorn except really this.

    However, there IS a Gorn font that I found here.

    Please note "Gorn Font" is considered Gorn Language, But Gorn Font can only be used in Doc. and can not be put in game, fourms, etc. My language is more universal AND understandable. Again, still working it out.

    I am basing my version of Gorn Language on a easy to understand basis. My version you can say translates from that "Gorn Font" > Human Language > Gorn Shown In Human Lettering.

    Example, *Gorn Font Used Here* = Cat. HOWEVER, With the Gorn, The "Cat" is not literally spelled that way.

    In my case: Sl'Sk'T' (Again, Based on This Translation and It's Look, I AM Still Editing The Language.)

    Version 1.3

    Alphabet:
    • Altered the Alphabet for a better flow in text.
    • Made the letter as it would be seen in a sentence.
    • More information added on the concept of the language.
