Any further progress on the overhaul been made? Since the possibility of new characters came up I haven't really been able to work on the encoding, and I, like many people, have less time in the fall for such things on account of school, so I welcome a bit of a hiatus...I'm just curious what's...

Two little things I noticed looking through the guide 1. The pejorative idioms for Octolings/Octarians from post #837 are nowhere to be found. I wouldn't mention it, except for you saying that you'd consider adding something in that vein to the idioms section. 2. In the geometry section (and...

Thank you for the char map! @theFIZZYnator got me the font at the same time you did, and I'm reworking the chart accordingly. Also in the new guide, I noticed that you switched the yV series into the order I recommended for encoding, but the parallel wV series remained in it's original order...

I still don't have the vector graphics, but wanted to put up the current version anyway while I wait for a response. please tell me if you have any problems with the ordering or transcriptions. Not that the graphical chart that will eventually have the orthographic symbols is using the Guide's...

@EclipseMT I'll PM @theFIZZYnator to see whether he can get me the raw vectors (for both Inkling and Octoling characters) but getting the current version of the font would certainly help me get the current version of the encoding up faster if you could get it to me

Alright, I'm working on the OctEncoding right now. On the new sound /ɧ/, since Swedish (EDIT AFTER FACT-CHECKING and one specific dialect of an archaic-but-still-living, partially-intelligable-with-German (like Scots is with English) language spoken in the Rhineland of Germany /EDIT) is the...

I'll add a reference to that in the next version of inkling encoding. I have a version that's formatted properly, but am waiting on 1. seeing which changes you finalize, since it sounds like you're changing a lot right now and 2. getting good copies of the characters to put in the actual chart...

Thanks, I'm not familiar with the Scandinavian languages, because most of their music never made it into standard performance repertoire in Western Europe. If you do plan to go forward with a vowel shift, maybe you could go fully German and make it {ä} {ö} {ü} representing the sounds /ɶ/ /ø/...

Ah. I hadn't seen German written with only ASCII characters before (Professional music engravers are usually sticklers about notation, esp. when it comes to English, French, German, Italian and Latin, and I haven't read any student compositions in German) And I certainly agree with the å -> ä...

do you mean vowel-i instead of vowel-o? Because that's what's currently in the guide. If that was one of the features you planned to change, that's totally fine, but the current guide has a Vi series, not a Vo one. I've sung a lot in German before, so I wouldn't personally describe the...

Hi! I've been on the Inkling thread working with @Ikaheishi to try to create a standardized encoding of the fan language for fontmakers to work from so all Splatoon fonts are mutually compatible. We're mostly done with Inkling, so it's about time to get started working on encoding Octoling...

Since we're getting to the point that the inkling encoding is pretty well set in stone, and since the comments about {rai}'s alternate presentation forms brought it to mind, I wanted to check with @Ikaheishi about our plans for the other splatoon script/symbols encoding: a "roadmap to...

I am a classically trained tenor vocalist who knows how to modify his technique for pop, but do not have a proper recording setup, and am away from even the stuff I normally have, so I probably can't help you...sorry. :oops:

Generally it's nice to try to rhyme in the same way in both languages, but because perfect translation is practically impossible, and meter is more important than rhyme for making a song sound right, it's quite common for translated songs to use a reduced rhyme scheme or drop it entirely. For...
