I also like the one further down there *points*
Are they for a constructed language or a natural one?

# Dubsar Gibil is for "Modern Sumerian"
which is basically Ancient Sumerian with some canonical decisions made about how it should actually be pronounced.

The other one I did today I just made up for no reason in particular.

# It's loosely based on Old Persian Cuneiform,
and would be written in a clay tablet (should one desire to do so) with a flathead screwdriver.

I've also used it for writing Katababeli, which is my pet constructed language.

# There aren't many Ancient Persians around these days,
but if there were, I like to think they'd speak Modern Sumerian.

Although they'd more likely be speaking Farsi.

# I like to think there's still some
in a deep, remote valley somewhere in the mountains on the border between Iran and Afghanistan. Though that seems a bit far East so perhaps some mountains a bit nearer here.

I once saw a program that decided that Eden was in one of those mountains and that the story in the Bible was a garbled version of a folk myth dimly remembering a patriarch who was expelled from the valley. They didn't say what he was expelled for so, inspired by the Holy Bibble, I'm going to go for shagging goats. www.holybibble.net/latest.php?id=11

Yeah.
