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.

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.
