Lucarian (Loesujuu'ek)

The Lucarian script was invented by Sakana Oji for his conlang of the same name, which is supposedly used by the Lucario from the Pokémon franchise. The script was modelled after Ian James' Amethyst script.

Notes

The consonant hyluno is pronounced /h/ before a vowel, and /x/ before a consonant or at the end of a word.
The names "chome" and "rejyz" are archaic names; the letters rarely occur at the beginning of a word.
The vowel e'up is pronounced /ə/ in unstressed positions; the penultimate syllable is usually stressed.
"Yshis" is not a real word in the Lucarian language; it was just created for the name of the letter. Also, yshis neither ever occurs in the beginning nor the end of a word.
