This generation is only available as a [https://toaqlanguage.wordpress.com/2020/10/22/the-hoelai-writing-system-2nd-edition/ pilot demonstration article]. Since it hinges on a yet unimplemented phonology overhaul, it cannot yet be used in practice, nor has a font been made for it yet. | |||

Hoemai has shared a list of glyphs in a PDF. You can get it [[File:ToaqScript sheet.pdf|here]]. | Hoemai has shared a list of glyphs in a PDF. You can get it [[File:ToaqScript sheet.pdf|here]]. | ||

A Toaq syllable is analysed into four Hoelai parts: 1. the consonant, which becomes the glyph in the middle; 2. the first phoneme in the nucleus, which is written right of the consonant (unless it is {{t|a}}, in which case it should be omitted); 3. the rest of the nucleus, written left of the consonant (optional); 4. the tone, together with the coda (presence/absence of {{t|-q}}), written above. (This part is empty for neutral tone syllables without {{t|-q}}.) | A Toaq syllable is analysed into four Hoelai parts: 1. the consonant, which becomes the glyph in the middle; 2. the first phoneme in the nucleus, which is written right of the consonant (unless it is {{t|a}}, in which case it should be omitted); 3. the rest of the nucleus, written left of the consonant (optional); 4. the tone, together with the coda (presence/absence of {{t|-q}}), written above.

Moreover, if this diphthong is the whole nucleus, (2) is omitted in favour of it. For example, {{t|maı}} is understood to be <code>m--ai</code>, not <code>m-a-i</code>; it would be written with the {{t|-aı}} glyph from (3). | ||

The circle ‘consonant’ signifies the lack of a consonant; an underdot signifies the lack of a vowel. This is the reason why {{t|q}} from the second row was written as a null consonant + {{t|-q}}. | The circle ‘consonant’ signifies the lack of a consonant; an underdot signifies the lack of a vowel.

Automated ways of converting plain Toaq into ToaqScript input will be made publicly available soon. Currently, [[nuogai.md|the Discord bot]] can generate an image of the script for you: use <code>%hoe</code> with plain Toaq as input. | Automated ways of converting plain Toaq into ToaqScript input will be made publicly available soon.
