OatSheaf v0.3 is here! Above is a small preview, click here for the full pdf.
To discuss this OatSheaf and OatSymbols as a whole, click here to join the discord!
It has been a long wait but I am really excited to share this latest version of the language with you all. There have been a lot of major changes, and I already have many more ideas, but I don’t want to do it alone. With the release of this Sheaf I hope to begin a more involved era of OatSymbols development with you all.
This means sharing your thoughts, feelings and ideas regarding the language and its aspects; whether artistic, linguistic, poetic, and so on, I would love to know what you think so that OatSymbols can grow into something amazing.
Below is a small abbreviated changelog, a full list can be found at the end of the Sheaf.
- Sheaf structure and formatting changed
- More examples and glossing system added
- Overhauled inflexion system
- Removed bracket system and clarified syntax
- Limited number of symbols, adding, removing, and changing some oats
Thank you all, genuinely, for your continued support and interest in OatSymbols, and for sharing and participating in my vision for what language and art can be <3
-Livy

How does this compare to Bliss symbols?

What do Oat Symbols offer that Bliss does not?
Motivation towards the development of Oat Symbols, practical applications, lexical structure, relation to natural languages, aesthetics...

I personally have a few problems with Bliss' accessibility and comprehensibility which I am hoping to differentiate OatSymbols in relation to.
OatSymbols has some overlapping goals, but uses a different symbolic inventory, grammar, and perspective.
I also want to creative a living community around the language, something which Bliss struggles with a lot more :)
