conlangs1-8  Exercise 3: Writing Choices
========================================

  Language    Script type   Advantage                    Cost
  ----------  ------------  ---------------------------  ------------------------
  Esperanto   Alphabet      Readers already know the     Six accented letters were
              (Latin plus   Latin letters; works for a   awkward on typewriters
              accents)      neutral language             and early computers
  Klingon     Alphabet      Learners can type it on a    Capital and small letters
              (Latin,       normal keyboard; the         mean different sounds,
              case-based)   screen script is separate    which surprises beginners
  Meren       Alphabet      Simple, fits the 14          (see below)
              (Latin)       sounds

Decision for Meren: Latin letters.

  Reason 1: It has only fourteen simple sounds, which Latin letters cover
            with no accents, so no keyboard problems.
  Reason 2: Readers need no new script, so learners can start at once.

A custom script could be added later for the culture, as a second, decorative
form.
