Kjaalekul 
The Kjaalekul (Old Hand) script was invented by Matt Ward
as a ceremonial script for his conlang, Ulmaak. It is an Abugida
and is written vertically. He started working on it in late 2016
and finished in late 2017. Vulcan inspired some of the original
consonants, but the actual way to write it is not set - this
causes up to five different ways to write one consonant-vowel
pair. The connection of the glyphs is not mandatory in larger
texts but helps with aesthetic effect when done correctly.
Notable Features
- Type of writing system: abugida
- Direction of writing: any direction but predominantly vertical
- Used to write: adaptable to several different languages due to interchangeable pronunciation
- Accents are available for varying quality
- Glyphs can be tweaked to allow for up to twelve varieties of vowel
Kjaalekul script
Note: sounds can be manipulated, for example: K can be /k/, /x/, /ʢ/, /ʕ/, /ʡ/, /χ/ etc.
