Lodarliel
The Lodarliel script was invented by Ralph Saenz, who became
interested in making up writing systems and languages in the spring
of 2005. About one year later, he came across a chart of the English
alphabet in Braille and memorized it in a few hours. Then a couple of
days later he experimented by connecting the dots together and found
that if you put together the letters in connected form, it created a
unique character. He uses it to write Lodarliel, his invented language,
and English.
Notable features
- Type of writing system: alphabet / syllabic
- Direction of writing: left to right in horizontal lines.

Notes
To create a C-V-C, CC-V-C, or a C-V-C-V character, first you write the first two letters in
Lodarliel (CC-V or C-V). Then you add the rest of the Lodarliel letters (C, or C-V) where there
is space. (either underneath, or next to) Here are examples of each:
