Lhemvrin eicrýs

Lhemvrin eicrýs (literally Lembrin writing) was invented by Sander Dieleman to write Lembrin, a constructed language serving as ceremonial language for Lemuria, a micronation. Lhemvrin eicrýs was originally an adaptation of another conscript, called Lemurian vulgar, invented by Sander in 2004. Over the course of two years Lhemvrin eicrýs gradually moved away from its origin, though there are still a lot of similar characters.

Notable features

Type of writing system: alphabet
