Writing system of [http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/024/4/b/doslox_by_juhhmi-d5sjj22.jpg Doslox] has graphemes derived from pictograms, and their order is based on an old story ('Halox Dozkepyr' or Hunter's Day' which is where the name originates). Later, [http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2013/052/8/8/modern_doslox_by_juhhmi-d5vpsl8.jpg Wadoslox] was developed to simplify the script and make it easier to read. | Writing system of [http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/024/4/b/doslox_by_juhhmi-d5sjj22.jpg Doslox] has graphemes derived from pictograms, and their order is based on an old story you can find in the [[Rinap#Examples]] ('Halox Dozkepyr' or Hunter's Day' which is where the name originates). Originally the great Herookuan Language of Ancestors (Rinapri) used complex picto-/logographic system in Later Goldhearts' Empire of second and third eras. Doslox developed from the system: at first it became syllabary and then alphabetic yet retaining some older elements. Nowadays, each grapheme represents a singe phoneme or syllable, and with Doslox every word can be written without raising your pen of the paper. | ||
Later, [http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2013/052/8/8/modern_doslox_by_juhhmi-d5vpsl8.jpg Wadoslox] was developed to simplify the script and make it easier to read. During the ages, several different [http://juhhmi.deviantart.com/art/Dosloxoh-Wehiz-378146997?q=gallery%3Ajuhhmi%2F42429210&qo=5 versions of the script] have been in use. | |||
Special marks in the beginning and at the end of sentences are used to separate them from another |indicative sentence| thus marking initials and dots or to indicate whether they are (an interrogative zo-question) or <an imperative or interjectional sentence> thus marking mood: |neym juhhmi(zoneyh phe) where the second '|' has been left out. Mid-sentence upper case letters can be marked with a line under the letter. With Latin script of course, these marks aren't used to avoid misunderstandings. | Special marks in the beginning and at the end of sentences are used to separate them from another |indicative sentence| thus marking initials and dots or to indicate whether they are (an interrogative zo-question) or <an imperative or interjectional sentence> thus marking mood: |neym juhhmi(zoneyh phe) where the second '|' has been left out.
