It appears you can upload supposedly non-supported files, so here's that document.
If you don't have a font that supports many Unicode characters, la'e la'e zoi gy. http://www.linuxlibertine.org/index.php?id=91&L=1 gy. is a good one.

but i still dont understand why they cant use the H instead of the postopher, H does not represent any other sound in lojban

I think I remember hearing an explanation for why they chose '. So this is all conjecture based on old and vague memories.
The ' is going to be a common thing since it is used very often, so they wanted to choose a letteral/symbol that was "lightweight" and not harsh and distracting. And not giving it it's own "real" letter like "h" helps to set it apart since it really isn't a "real" letter like the rest.

.y'y. is used to make different "shapes" of vowels, separating "oi" and "o'i". It never occurs outside of two vowels and only serves that one purpose, so it should not be considered a lerfu. Even when counting lerfu to determine whether something is a gismu or not. I think. I can't remember who told me that.

These symbols are usually only used in Taiwan. The people in Mainland China who use Mandarin use the Latin alphabet. Also, the fact that there is not a standardized bunch of shapes to represent letters in Lojban mean there's going to be a lot of different set of letters to be learned Lojban actually ever comes into place worldwide.

Funnily enough, I myself have already submitted orthographies for both D'ni and Katakana. The kana one was just recently in the Lojban mailing list, but the D'ni one was years ago. Let me see if I can find it in the archives....

Found it! Now let's see how our two compare....

The Lojban alphabet has exactly 25 letters, and the D'ni script is based on a base-5 numerology. It might be nice to try to only use the 25 "core" letters, though I'm not sure if there's a sensible mapping to make that work.

Agree.
Although not necessarily arabic, latin characters are not good.
Script is better in terms of flow and readability.

Er, last one is supposed to be
لا .رأبين. پرامي لأ ري گإرکو

I like that script.
I've uploaded some handwriting.
The example word is "cookie"
The first row is latin.
The second row is trying Larlermorna.
The third row is Tengwar.
The last row is modified Hangul.

Am I using Larlermorna correctly?
{ki'e}

>>625
What's up with that modified Hangul? Is backwards ㅌ part of the modification? If you're doing script examples, throw in تِتنَنبَ too.

626, Thanks for showing me.

I confused the hangul 'tigeut' with the direction of the larlermorna 'ty.'.

"Modified hangul" means adding symbols for sounds like Lojban's 'c' 'l' 'v' and 'x'.

In studying Lojban with larlermorna/lindarscript
I've converged on a form where the second set of consonants have 1 line extended like a tail, but 'r' and 'v' and 'b' need a slight squiggle.

The rules of larlermorna are simple enough to allow many ways or writing, I really like like that.

But an that advantage lowercase latin has had is each letter looks unique except maybe 'l' and 'i'.

It is still better for me to study with larlermorna so, for example, when I see words like "nanmu" I know to pronounce it "n(ah)nmu" without the 'a' that is in english "man".

Better it being accounted for than otherwise. I think we could simply steal a better/functional script. Like the Ithkuil script. No harm in two constructed languages sharing a script is there? Least it seems to offer something.

Umm, redo of the image.

>>401
Ithkuil script is very tightly bound to that language's grammar. One cannot just take phonetic rendition of lojban text and write it in ithkuil characters. And while there are some common ideas in lojban grammar and ithkuil grammar, they are distinct enough to make mapping between them a quite difficult task.

For instance: in theory, there is no distinction in ithkuil corresponding to the distinction between sumti and selbri. In practice, most of time, main word of predicate have some verbal categories indicators, and other words have case category indicator, so we can take and use case category marker from the ithkuil script and use it to represent FA, modal and tense place tags. But there is two complications for that use: first, idiosyncratic semantics of FA places for every gismu; and second, that what lojban modal/tense system is even more complex and rich than ithkuil's dozens of cases. And that's only one example of transcription difficulties.

So, while one can devise a system for using ithkuil script to represent lojban text, it (most probably) will be highly unpractical and artificial. Better to take ithkuil script as a model or a lesson and devise a lojban semantic script based on similar principles.

It's interesting.

Having to deal with idiotic anti-natlangists is annoying, though.

I'm interested in using it for planning out programs and documenting code. Plus I'm a linguistics student as well

I like it because I am starting to realize that I am an idealist..
Basically I like to do things the way I think they should be regardless of practicality.
So for me I see what lojban could be and I choose to learn and support it regardless of its current status

you can't give this flag to a 3-year-old and expect 'em to draw it with crayon. not cool.

I think the flag of lojban must be that which means lojban!

Here is explanation of my flag:

1. Circle and dot- It have two meanings. First it says sun centered universe(Science). Second it says that god is in center a we all just revolve around him(Philosophy).
2. Some thing written at left bottom- It is written lojban in Brahmi script. Brahmi script is oldest alphabetical script. It was first script used to write Sanskrit. It's rules never change, means one spelling for one sound(word). We can write anything which a human can pronounce! Another reason for writing Lojban in brahmi is that it is most culturally neutral language! You can find uncountable cultures within India. All the Indian scripts including the popular devnagri is derived from it. All the scripts of Sri Lanka, Tibetan, Burmese, Thai, all major script of south Asia are derived from it. It influence Middle Eastern script, Hiragana, etc. to some extent.
3. Dotted lines at left and right of the flag- This describes the porous nature of the universe. Noting is smooth in this universe including space-time! That how physicists argue that it is possible to do time travel. As you can notice that pores are not uni-distance- as pores are random...
4. Colors- I have used red, dark-blue and yellow as- blue, red and yellow are colors of rainbow. You may ask- why I used bark blue- not blue? Because dark blue was looking better!
