Kothi is a completely original phonetic alphabet designed to look alien, used in the upcomming Sci-Fi Series the Existence Code by Danielle Ravenwing.

     The practice version has the IPA pronunciation written inside each consonant and written below and to the left or right for each vowel. When you have written something in this version you can easily change the font to Kothi 3.0 to remove the IPA notation. You can also use this font to transcribe text written in Kothi 2.0.

     The consonants are designed after the parts of the mouth (lips, teeth, tongue and palate) that are active in making the sound. All consonants are grouped into 4 basic characters, each having 8 orientations depending on whether the sound is voiced, fricative, nasal, etc.

     There are 3 basic vowel characters based on how curled the lips are. Each vowel (or dipthong) has 4 orientations depeding on how open the sound is. Vowels are written over the top of consonants. The direction the vowel curls tells whether the sound is pronounced before or after the consonant.

Key mapping guide:

Consonant keys:

     ASXZ   DFVC    JK<M    L:?>     (SHIFT types voiced version of characters)

Vowel keys:

     QWERT   UIIOP   TYGH    (SHIFT changes curl direction)

     [  (used to write vowel sounds w/ no consonant)

Punctuation keys:

     BN]\ (b is used to end words, n is used for questions, b+n is used for exclamation. Individual     words can be questions or exclamations)

Number keys: `1234567890-= (base 13)

Example:

To write the sentence "What is your name?"

You would write: SwcbVRbAtKbfosn      (install the Kothi font to view this text in Kothi)
