Qatama, a conlang he abandoned several years ago (whose Romanization was originally very Klingonish -- D for a plain old /d/, q for /k/, Q for /q/, etc.), had something like three or four different con-scripts that could be used to write it. On the CBB, I once commented, when discussing how my focus in conlanging was not on scripts, "Unlike such posters as Masako, I only have one alphabet, abjad, or syllabary for each language I create, if I've developed one at all". Masako replied: "I sorta almost feel like this is a dig at me, but whatevs". (I replied: "Oh no, it's not a dig. I FAIL at con-scripting compared to you!")</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div><br></div>

I was just browsing Fiat Lingua, the online conlanging academic journal, when I discovered the December 2024 article: a piece by Klingonist Carl Buck (a.k.a. Masako) that develops a rather-alien alphasyllabary for Klingon:</div>
