Being Mr. Kenny

I love languages, and I found this site a few years ago, but came across it again today.

I find the “Constructed scripts” really interesting, it’s basically made up alphabets. It’s quite geeky. I mean, this is stuff done by people who obviously have quite a lot of spare time. Some of them are rubbish, but some are really beautiful. Like Ayeri, for example.

I like the fact that people are interested enough in something that’s entirely imaginary, and of no use to the real world whatsoever, to make up symbols for an alphabet. I think most of them are from fantasy novel writers. Fantasy novel writers always tend to be a little bit other-worldly and obsessive about tiny details of worlds that don’t exist.

Anyway, just something that dragged me away from invoicing for a few moments today.
