    Since I'll never get around to scanning this apparently I'll just post links to the pics here. This is a song I had written in Maycan a while back, Maycan being my created language work-in-progress. This script is a little derived from old Mongolian/Uyghur and I tried to at least mimic a little bit of Arabic calligraphy in it. http://ur1.ca/g53di

        @rarity The first is written vertically, up to down. Runic one is right to left.

            @rarity The vertical script I consider my masterpiece; I had taken many years to form it and finally... I think it's perfect. The Runic one is like a working script and basically... Well I just need to work in the language more.

                @rarity Thank you! That means a lot to hear because I've worked very hard at making it project the harmony Maycan posesses in spoken form.

      @awlderpy and finally a translation is at my Tumblr account here http://ur1.ca/g53e0 oddly enough this base I felt was very weak and it sounds so much better in Maycan. If I could sing, I'd make it a real song.

      @oracle I drew a huge amount of inspiration from it, mostly in writing and a few base words from Mongolic and Turkic languages.
