Why create Austronesian writing system?
http://austronesianws.blogspot.my/?m=1
- Preserve Austronesian languages from extinction which are now critically endanger (List of endangered Austronesian Languages).
- Conserve the culture and biodiversity of Austronesian origin& beyond, especially species that are facing extinction.
- Reduce the carbon footprint of physical& virtual writing medium.
- Conserve the wayfinding tradition of Austronesian by celestial navigation& wave-piloting (rebbelib)
How?
- By recording local dialect phonetics & languages before synchronized into the Austronesian glyph.
- this Austronesian glyph is only a guideline of which new and more suitable symbol may be created to suit locality.
- Number& phonetics of glyph varies, depending on the needs& suitability of local.
- Each glyph is created logo-graphically from cultural elements& biodiversity of Austronesian region ecosystem, some are in critically need for conservation e.g. Helmet Hornbil bird, Malayan Tiger& Borneo Elephant.
- Abugidas is created similar to Canadian Aboriginal syllabic of which every 90 degree turn of its orientation changes its glyph's consonant combination with vowels.
- Objects intend for preservation created the representative glyph has no vowel.
- Every 90 degree turn of the representative glyph changes the vowel combination follow behind, starting from A, O& I.
- However, combination with vowels E& U is alphasyllabary (avugida) based of which additional symbol is added to the representative glyph as abugida.
- Words is made in syllable block (box) to further reduce space and digital-bites thus reduce needs for data storage, paper space& ink of the storing medium.
- Each glyph will represent celestial star/s and it shall be re-introduced to the future generation, as means to tell time, orientation& supplement wayfinding in travelling.
