I’m sending this again. I put some time into it. Michael I do not remember offhand what the pink bits were. Something for discussion? Or Shavian items not used in Quikscript? “Shoves”? Please. There i

In order to do a clean break, we’d need to convert all fonts, documents, and tooling to use the new codepoint set and damnatio-memoriae everything that uses the current codepoint set. This involves: m

Hi all. If I may add my two cents to this discussion, I would also be in favour of the maximal dis-unification of Shavian and Quikscript characters. As Kingsley Read wrote in the Quikscript Manual its

#standardization

I originally archived the materials on the Yahoo! Quikscript group when it was first announced that Yahoo! groups were effectively ending. I placed them in private but accessible storage here (https:/

There may be better resources for learning RP, but here's one I found a bunch of years ago. I found it enjoyable and engaging, and gave me a grounding in what is different between RP and my American a

If you can decipher IPA at all, I recommend the online Collins English Dictionary <https://www.collinsdictionary.com/> , which provides basically RP pronunciations, but marks historic (and American, S

Thanks, John, I appreciate the offer. The problem I'm running into is not words whose pronunciations I'm unsure about - those I can dig around and eventually find some reason why my dialect and that o

If you are uncertain about any English word, ask me. I personally pronounce the Arean words with Spanish (or IPA) vowels and English consonants, and stress the penultimate syllable. I'd write the vowe

I am. I’ve been adding to the translations file manually. Yes, it’s a slow process, error-prone, and one of the reasons why my adaptation of Cowan’s modernized “Omnilingual” is still unfinished. Tryin

Thanks! Huh. I know I looked through adiabatic's github before, but must have missed this because of the repo name. The repo has some interesting design decisions, though it's a little hard for me to

This one should be easy to proofread as long as you (1) have a copy of Androcles and the Lion, (2) can read Shavian, and (2) know when to use /w/ vs. /ʍ/. I’ve got (1) and can do both (2) and (3) in a

Thanks!

Your loyal moderator has just moderated his first messages in the new group. Still getting up to speed, but I'm getting things in place. Sorry those two sat around so long, but I'll see new messages w

In the course of learning to read and write Quikscript, I took on a side-project to manually translate Androcles and the Lion. (I expect all of you know this already, but it's a play by Shaw and was t

Nathan, Jon Zuck created it, and while he didn't explicitly give it a license, it seems he's pretty permissive about its use (I found someone else asking the question back in 2002)

Sweet, thanks! I’m new to the language-tagging part of the Internet — where can I watch the progress of this request?

For the record, Michael is Benevolent Dictator of both the IANA language tagging group, whose page you were looking at, and the ISO 15924 Registration Authority, which is responsible for the 4-letter

The one up top on the left (𐑳) with no Quikscript counterpart looks like a Shavian letter not used in Quikscript. U+10478 through U+1047F look like pre-ligated Shavian letters that have no real Quiksc

This is fine, à la LATIN LETTER C. Also fine: SHAVIAN LETTER THEY and the close-enough QUIKSCRIPT LETTER VIE. No, it doesn’t. 𐑝 goes below the baseline (is Deep); ·He goes above the x-height (is Tall)

Yes, fine, but that wasn’t the point.
