NOTICE: PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW SUBREDDIT: https://www.reddit.com/r/Kiiul/

For those of you who don’t know why you’re here, /u/Smalljon69 came back to our language and removed all the changes we made. He wants everyone to conform to his ideas, not their own. See, the idea of a pidgin is that everyone contributes. But Smalljon wants to turn that into a group of three. Don’t worry. He only has view access, so this can truly be a community project. One thing is for sure, though. “Kikid” is not “Ki*iul”!

Unfortunately, I can only give you view access since I don’t want anyone who doesn’t like this project (like Jon) to be able to access it. Which is why you need to PM one of the mods with your email address, and you will be given permissions whenever we see it.

You may feel free to contribute by suggesting.

For clarity, put a dot in between confusing when writing vertically, such as cij and cja. So in this case, write ci.j and cja.

A few things written in the script: [1] [2] Fonts:

Notice 1: In order for the ligatures to work, you have to change some font settings in your text editing program. Make sure to enable ligatures.

Notice 2: The /ʔ/ sound is typed using “h” in the font for compatibility reasons.

Notice 3: The Quotes are sometimes replaced with right and left quotes; these are not encoded. You’ll have to change some more settings to make it work.

FONT 1 (handwriting): The font was made by /u/CodeTriangle, and uses double ligatures. Here is a short gif showing it in action: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lvn1blji7vxupuz/Kihiul%20font%20demo.gif?dl=0. Sorry for the ugly red lines; I couldn’t find a way to get rid of them.

The font can be downloaded here: NEWEST: [V1.1], Added Quotes and Period. OLD: [V1.0]

FONT 2 (Wide, Sans Serif): Not meant to replace the earlier font, but I thought it would be nice to have a few font variations of the same script. Works same way as FONT 1. Made by /u/aswlwlwl.

Font can be downloaded here: LINK

Sample:

Kuci awa cnanukkwi cacin. My cousin worships pizza.

FONT 3 (Normal, San Serif): A better looking (compared to FONT 2), not so wide version. Made by /u/aswlwlwl. Also includes of period (full stop/dot), comma, question and exclamation marks.

Font can be downloaded here: LINK

Sample:

Apinu awa jaci cnanukkwi cacin. My mother also worships pizza.

FONT 4 (Serif): First serif version! Made by /u/aswlwlwl, as requested by /u/illogicalinterest. Includes period (fullstop/dot), comma, question mark, exlamation mark and hyphen.

Sample:
