World Unity Alphabet

World Unity Alphabet
http://www.omniglot.com/writing/wua.php The World Unity Alphabet alphabet (WUA) was invented by Shane Gartner as a writing system that can be used to write virtually any language. You could call it his hope for the future where all nations of the world will be united in peace and harmony. Oh wow, an auxscript! It's a nice idea, and the script looks pretty good, but I'm not sure that it'll catch on.

Looks cool! If it's an auxscript, though, he probably should use IPA in his key.

Looks cool! If it's an auxscript, though, he probably should use IPA in his key. You love IPA! *said in a immature schoolboy voice* Anyway, considering that he equates the symbols with other natscripts, IPA isn't extremely necessary, at least not as much as a knowledge of those particular natscripts. Also, he does use IPA on some spots on his key, he just failed at consistency.

I really like that script. It looks kinda like Burmese.

I like most the following two characteristics: The template he came up with is a circle with six triangular sections that looks sort of like a Trivial Pursuit "pie" piece,andHe borrowed characters from as many different languages as he could as an "original" design for each letter. In some ways it reminds me somewhat of Simon Whitechapel's Pentalph.

In some ways it reminds me somewhat of Simon Whitechapel's Pentalph. That...is atrocious.

In some ways it reminds me somewhat of Simon Whitechapel's Pentalph. :shock: My eyes!! Dang, that must be a tough script to read.

In some ways it reminds me somewhat of Simon Whitechapel's Pentalph. :shock: My eyes!! Dang, that must be a tough script to read.Simon Whitechapel has a lot of "interesting" scripts. Several of them would be hard on your eyes. One of them is very difficult to read, though not hard to look at.

That's not difficult, its impossible. I can't even zoom the image of the sample up because each character was placed independently. Does he actually explain how any character is different?

That's not difficult, its impossible.I think of "impossible" as a superlative degree of "difficult". I can't even zoom the image of the sample up because each character was placed independently. Does he actually explain how any character is different?Yes, if you read the attached story, you find that the monks who read and write that script take hallucinogens in order to do so.

One of them is very difficult to read, though not hard to look at. Those aren't really scripts in my opinion, they're pictographs...annoying ones at that.

They are just dots... So, let's take the 'comma' and make an alphabet ,,,,,,, Reads "Hey how are you?" I mean, like... Did he want to fill his site or something?

Actually it looks a lot like the Gilo alphabet. Gilo has 8 segments tho.

Actually it looks a lot like the Gilo alphabet. Gilo has 8 segments tho. They do seem to be based on similar concepts, but Gilo is much better thought out IMHO.
