This is a script I've been working on since 2019. I decided one day I wanted to make a cypher (for Spanish) made entirely of spirals. As I made it and practiced it, I decided to make a conlang for it, Apsana. With the passing of time, a fictional society, living in an island and speaking Apsana has been taking shape, which I want to use on at least one book someday (I'm working on that). As you can probably tell, aesthetic was the main priority when creating Apsana, not practicality.

Pronunciaton will be intuitive for Spanish speakers; every letter is always pronounced the same way (G siempre como "gato" o "guerra", nunca como en "girar"; R siempre como en "arar" o "pirómano", nunca como en "ruina" o "rotación"; LL siempre con el sonido de "yarda", no como la pronunciación "li" que usaba, por ejemplo, mi abuela; H se pronuncia como en el inglés). If you know how Japanese is usually romanized then you know how to pronounce Apsana: you'll just have to remember that LL here is the sound of the English J. I'm afraid I am useless when it comes to phonetic script.

Apsana has a base-13 numeral system, meaning each number from 0 to 12 has its own symbol, as you can see. That means translating numbers to Apsana is a bit of a chore.

Apsana is a functional, though still developing, language. I've made adequate translations with it. Its grammar is nothing special, really; I suppose it wouldn't be hard to learn. I didn't want to make something too strange and hard to build on my first conlang. The second picture here is a text ("Río de los pájaros") by Argentinian writer Alejandro Dolina, translated to Apsana. The third picture is Littlefinger's "chaos is a ladder" speech as seen in HBO series Game of Thrones, also translated.

If it turns out I've unknowingly plagiarized someone's work, I am sincerely sorry. I've come to love these letters and the conlang itself, after many hours dedicated to them. Hope people find it visually pleasing.
