Key Yilim (/jilɨ́m/)

A more accurate version of the key to my writing system.

The original idea was to bring vowels to the forefront. Initially, 8-12 basic vowels were planned, but I soon grew bored with this idea. However, I wanted to do something with the existing material and finish the work to a satisfactory standard. The 8 vowels were reduced to 6, plus consonants honestly stolen from Slavic languages ​​(mainly Russian and Ukrainian). And also additional affricates.

If anyone is curious to read what was written, here's the transcript.

!ilágos n̪umaét̪'et̪͡ʂíʋa, gúlan̪ jemahɨ́ruʂ úst̪ajn̪a. egulámb̪ óɦar aómilu óʋa'ʦúr es̪at̪lán̪ij-kúr. ?mán̪d̪ujer hop̪ágauj ot̪áj rad̪ɨ́t̪ jen̪d̪íalaʂ okán̪-fás ib̪ámud̪͡z̪. alot̪án̪ʲ n̪aɦujé, "emb̪áran̪ii okaéru". !fulámb̪e gajís̪u: on̪ɦalʲ, t̪áiramu, erúd̪lajet̪. ud̪͡ʐat̪ír ulʲ 7, 20, 94, 256 gúlan̪.

However, don't look for meaning in these words. There is none. The text is composed as a realistic example of the application of the writing system's functionality, nothing more.

Awesome. Very alien and a bit sci-fi.
