Apasyosus
The Apasyosus script was created in April 2006 by Christopher Yale Tang
(唐泰川) to write his constructed language, Disus. Disus
means “speaking” and Apasyosus comes from the word apothesis. They were
created during the Spring Festival of 2005. Disus includes many Romance
and Germanic words and the grammar seems like a simplification of the
grammar of an Indo-European language.
Apasyosus is modelled on the Burmese alphabet.
Notable features
