Here are the runes arranged in the "gear" formation.  If anyone here has actual artistic talent, I'll gladly turn over the GIMP files to whoever wants to make this look presentable.

~snip~

I like how it looks already.

Hello,

I want to see this project revived. With the arrival of the steam release, the game is more popular than ever. Additionally, we now have the official inclusion of the Simon Swerwer song Koganusan in the dwarf fortress soundtrack, which somewhat implies that that is the correct pronunciation of the dwarven language. I dunno, we can probably include his other songs too.

Necroing the thread for obvious continuity and notification reasons.

Dwarf fortress, having sold more than a million copies already, will soon have a large and dedicated fanbase of nerds, many of whom will also be language nerds that want to expand upon the written corpus. Now is the best time to bring this back.

Double necroing because this could be an extremely important project in the Dwarf Fortress community.

Everybody loves this project, however it needs
-> Someone who takes charge of it (you know, the (in)famous Manager ^^ ).
-> A team of people under this person, with very specific skills in langage construction.
-> Several hundred hours.
-> People with skill in DF and programming, enough so this can be injected into the game.

I don't think we are even close from it, currently.

The original reason these threads don't take off is an alleged remark from Toady that, in the future, all languages will be randomly generated and have effectively no meaning. That was the conclusion of an older thread that was necro'd about the time I signed up. I'd be interested to see if that's still the intended direction.

Maybe someone should formulate a question in fotf thread ?
