Welcome to Gaia! ::

I would love to help!

ever think about making letters match with numbers of the most commonly used words?

and not having the need for the word 'the' or 'a' would be good yes?

so it would look something like this

or something like that? I think this sounds great!

Hey everyone, sorry for disappearing. I have a bad habit of doing that during Summer Break.

I like the idea of using numbers for common words.

Some of the ideas I've been having are:
-Sorta taking a page from the book of txt talk (which makes me feel dirty, but yeah...); I'm not sure how to really accurately describe it, so I'll just give a few examples

Demon becomes Dmon, eat becomes et (not sure about this one). Basically cutting out vowels that become redundant when you consider the "natural vowel sound" of some letters. I dunno. It's just a thought; maybe someone could take it and run with it?

The other idea is putting a limit on how small a given word could be compressed. Like, maybe no smaller than three letters? Of course, that wouldn't matter when the word is being given a number code.

And I just had another thought; using onomatopoeia more often. Eat could be "om", for example. (Like om nom nom, if that;s not obvious.

I'm sorry if this is all a little chaotic; this is just some really rough brain storming.

Check out EasyScript. It's a quick note-taking method very similar to chat speak but is systematic and predictable -- although you must customize it to your liking, thus your EasyScript won't be exactly the same as someone else's. It's not so much meant as a method of communication, but if someone normalized it (adding in the missing bits) and made it more popular, it would probably be the new "text message language."

In EasyScript, a sentences changes like this:
The attempt to communicate with extraterrestrials was successful.
arrow t atmpt t cmnct w xtrstrls w sccf.

The point of EasyScript is to reduce the amount of letters you must write or type, in order to increase writing/typing speed without using a complicated symbolic system like Gregg or Pitman shorthand, and without haphazard abbreviation like chat-speak... Like how you use the letter "y" to mean "you/your/you're" and you'd use "w" to mean "who" or "what" by context and you could specify wt for what, or wo for who (with w/o for without). "Real" EasyScript has specific rules to follow, but completely encourages you to add and change your own rules to better suit your needs.

I do this so much on my notes now that I can jot down notes in class, on the phone, or during a conversation, without even paying attention to what I'm writing.

R1 Big alphabet = good idea.
General alphabet,
a á ɐ ɑ ɒ ꜳ æ ᴂ ꜵ ꜹ ꜷ ꜽ b ɓ ʙ c ɕ d ɖ ɗ ȸ ʣ ʤ ʥ e é ɘ ə ɚ ɛ ɜ ɝ ɞ ʚ f ƒ ɟ g ɠ ɢ ʛ ɣ ɤ h ɥ ɦ ɧ ʮ ʯ ʜ i í ɨ ɩ ɪ j ʝ k ᶄ ʞ ɫ ɬ ɭ ɮ ʟ m ɯ ɰ ɱ n ŋ ɲ ɳ ɴ o ó ɵ ɶ œ ᴔ ꝏ ɔ ƣ ɷ p ƥ þ ɸ q ʠ ȹ r ɼ ɽ ɹ ɺ ɻ ɾ ɿ ʀ ᴙ ʁ ᴚ s ʂ ȿ ß ʃ ʄ ʅ ʆ ƪ t ʦ ʧ ꜩ ʨ ʇ ʈ u ú ʉ ᵫ ʊ v ʋ ʌ w ʍ ƿ y ʎ ʏ z ʐ ʑ ɀ ʒ ƹ ʓ ʔ ʡ ʕ ʢ ʖ ʗ ʘ Ƅ ƨ

Some special characters that we could use,

˹ ʹ ʺ ʻ ʼ ʽ ʾ ʿ ˀ ˁ ˂ ˹ ˺ ˻ ˼ ˥ ˦ ˧ ˨ ˩[Common Inflections]
¡ ! ¿ ? . , : ;[Obvious use grammatical mood, topic, list.]

“ ” ‘ ’ « » [ ] { } ( )[Grammatical sorting]
* · • ⁊ † ‡[Notes/Refferences]


And a base fourty number system,–

okay lets use everyone elses ideas generally and
for one this insane alphabet… I wish asdfasdf was online wait… ah, might have been an old account of mine but I digress.
Letters would be composed of

pairs corresponding to following patterns like affricates would be given seperate symbols.

Certain Inflectional Symbols: ˹ ʹ ʺ “ ” ʻ ʼ ʽ ʾ ʿ ˀ ˁ ˂ ˹ ˺ ˻ ˼ ˥ ˦ ˧ ˨ ˩ ˥˦ ˥˧ ˥˨ ˥˩ ˦˥ ˦˧ ˦˨ ˦˩ ˧˥ ˧˦ ˧˨ ˧˩ ˨˥ ˨˦ ˨˧ ˨˩ ˩˥ ˩˦ ˩˧ ˩˨ ꜈ ꜉ ꜊ ꜋ ꜌ ꜍ ꜎ ꜏ ꜐ ꜑ ꜒ ꜓ ꜔ ꜕ ꜖ ꜒꜓ ꜒꜔ ꜒꜕ ꜒꜖ ꜓꜒ ꜓꜔ ꜓꜕ ꜓꜖ ꜔꜒ ꜔꜓ ꜔꜕ ꜔꜖ ꜕꜒ ꜕꜓ ꜕꜔ ꜕꜖ ꜖꜒ ꜖꜓ ꜖꜔ ꜖꜕
Numerators/Numbers Capital 0۰०೦1۱१೧2۲२೨3۳३೩4۴४೪5۵५೫6۶६೬7۷७೭8۸८೮9۹९೯
Miniscule versions of 0۰०೦1۱१೧2۲२೨3۳३೩4۴४೪5۵५೫6۶६೬7۷७೭8۸८೮9۹९೯,
may be used as letters.

other details every letters can be given a diacretic, one Inflectional symbol or no marking.
such as, a å ä a̽ ã a̚ ȧ ă a̋ á ā à ȃ a̪ a̺ a̻ a̹ a̜ a̠ a̘ a̙ a̝
[every diacritic that could occur above could also occur bellow]
The additional characters would all be in the private use area.
the diacritics can also be used with numbers
Each combination of base character plus diacritic would be given it's own code point in the private use area,
since writter limit is based on 140 characters.

Each alphabetic letter can occur as modifier/dependent form including a preceding modifier or dependent form.
and can further appear as a superscript or even subscript.
Further notes:
Each morpheme would be one letter plus optionally any preceding or following dependent letter or following minuscule number.
It can also be a dependent preceding letter and a dependent following letter.

In the year 2015,
could be represented by something like:
۰۴˥˩
˥˩ [being in the year of the years between 1600–3200 CE]
۰۴ 10:14[the number of the year in the same cycle of 1600 years]

As for Verb phrase enclitics, would encode for Subject And Object,
for the grammar one could take a reasonably complete grammar of english,
and a full list of all of their prepositions.
