Many of you probably know I have a life-long constructed language called Nimyad. This week I have begun the long-overdue task of gathering all the documents together, from the last thirty years or so, and consolidating them all into the Book of Nimyad. As part of this, I was delighted to discover a conlang font (Fairfax HD, by Kreative) which contained the glyphs from the Amlin script in the private use area. I knew the names, but the glyphs themselves had been lost to me. Thus I have been able to reconstruct some sample text today. #conlang #nimyad

Kudos to whoever wrote this: "Shackleton's expedition failed to accomplish this objective but became recognized instead as an epic feat of endurance." ("Endurance" was the name of his ship)

Fun fact! Everyone remembers that the newton is named after Sir Isaac Newton, who discovered gravity, and that the kilogram is named after Lord Humphrey Kilogram, who climbed trees to drop apples on Newton. But few remember Pierre de Litre, who introduced water to France.
