I'm back. I just thought of a way to potentially improve this thread's utility by making it possible to write in the Inkling syllabary. However, I'm going to need you to install the Stylish extension (or something else that inserts CSS), not to mention Sunken Sans.
This method will override the Trebuchet MS font and replace it with Sunken Sans, but just in this site.
Step 1: Create a new stylesheet that applies to:
URLs starting with http://squidboards.com/threads/the-fan-language-of-splatoon.2914
Step 2: insert the following code:
font[face="Trebuchet MS"], span[style*="Trebuchet MS"] {font-family: "Sunken Sans"!important;}
Step 3: Observe:
This text will be rendered in Sunken Sans.
PS: On the subject of translating things to Inkling, I made a reference to a certain something (If you recognize it, reply with the original line in the thread.) using my Inkling OC and in the constructed language:
The subtitle says:
¡ Ps, å ë Èu ãÛ Gµ ¡.
{I žizai, zoi eya naizi rutu bihe i.}
(This could be a good use for a particle to separate clauses.)
Separate topic altogether: I'm here to set the Latinized orthography straight. I have multiple versions.
The "
Inkling Received Alphabet" uses the following letters:
A B Č D E F G H I K M N O P R S Š T Ŧ U W Y Z Ž
in addition to accented letters Á É Í Ó Ú to notate accent.
This variant is notated between {braces}.
Ŧ can be replaced with Ť.
There are alternatives for those with ASCII keyboards:
The "
Inkling Simplified Alphabet", or the "Z-Alphabet", uses the following letters:
A B Cz D E F G H I K M N O P R S Sz T Tz U W Y Z Zz
in addition to accented letters Á É Í Ó Ú to notate accent, though not required.
This variant is notated between [brackets].
The benefit of this system is that word sorting goes in generally the correct order, since Z comes after U, so {suráže} [surazje] "money" is sorted before {šanái} [szanai] "arm".
The drawback of this system is that this is less easy to read for English speakers than it is for speakers of Czech or Polish, for example (probably).
Zz can be replaced with Zj or Zh, but this will change the sorting order.
The "I
nkling Romaji", or the "H-Alphabet", uses the following letters:
A B Ch D E F G H I K M N O P R S Sh T Ts U W Y Z J
in addition to accented letters Á É Í Ó Ú to notate accent, though rarely seen.
This variant is notated between |bars|.
The benefit of this system is that it is intuitive to English speakers.
The drawback of this system is that this is less technical, and sorting will not be in the correct order.
For example, {suráže} |suraje| "money" is sorted
after {šanái} |shanai| "arm", even though S comes before Š in the Inkling Received Alphabet. A more extreme example is {zo} |zo| "out" and {žo} |jo| "not". All words that start with Ž jump back about two thirds of the alphabet in this system.
