Dr. Jen Justice's Office Hours!
This transcription was done in the only fan made cypher to have ever appeared on the TV show, Doctor who, as Gallifreyan, the language of the time lords!
I am one of the developers of this script, though its original creator is Loren Sherman. This script, often referred to as 'Sherman's Gallifreyan,' or 'Sirkles,' is best described as Loren's baby, who was then passed along to me and the rest of the community to help it grow and develop to its full potential. I'm the creator of the teaching tools kits, as well as the primary scribe that Loren lists on their Website: Shermansplanet.com. The guide and design shown in this video are my own creations.
The font version of this script was created by u/impronouncabl who is an amazing programmer and can be found on our community discord: discord.gg/K7VecZ9NJU and on the subreddit. Reddit.com/r/gallifreyan
There is currently no publicly available download link of this font, other than the work in progress posted to the discord.
If you want your own transcription, I take commissions! Here is a link to my etsy where you can get custom designs, decals, wall art and more: sirklesstudio.etsy.com/
If you have any questions, the best way to reach me is through the etsy messaging system.

    Started transcribing back in like 2012-2013 off and on till current so I find this VERY cool. Some differences between the current Sirkles script and the new BBC app that I found incase anyone's interested. Vowels that are not attached to a letter are shifted inward, so for say "Apple" I would consider the first letter E in current Sirkels script, lone E's look like O's etc. This makes unattached O's look kinda funny being so shifted inwards (though maybe it was intentional since unattached O's do seem to align with the center of the word circle. and its consistent so I suppose it's still legible ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ). Also digraphs such as Th, Ch, Sh, Ng & Qu exist while Ph, Wh, Gh, Nd, & Nt don't exist, Q's default to Qu in sirkles script, and C's seem to ALWAYS default to K's regardless of how the word sounds so "Circles" is written as "Kirkles" as opposed to the classical "Sirkles" from before C was added. I can only assume they were using an old/outdated version of translation chart, or perhaps there was some level of confusion or interpretation. I also agree that the community is more than happy to help/contribute. :)

    • @TheSkribeOfSirkles
      @TheSkribeOfSirkles 15 днів тому

      I’m less sure that these things are proper ‘differences’ as much as simple ‘glitches’ like you would find with most translator apps. This is my thinking because the official script still seems to be working their ‘kinks’ out, as evidenced by the rotational direction of the words changing between the release of the sonic screwdriver and this app. I expect the unenclosed vowels will be ‘fixed’ down the road, much like the orientation was earlier and much like the ‘dot stacking’ that occurs in larger sentences… (if you type in a 9-10+ word sentence, instead of distinguishable dots. You get one blob…. Making two-three letter dot letters ambiguous. I also maintain that the unenclosed ‘e’ and ‘o’ are ambiguous, as the ‘o’ actually isn’t centered, but is where it would intersect with the innermost point of a ‘j’ letter stem. I’m thinking that there might have been a tiny mistake with using an invisible ‘j’ letter stem as a place holder rather than the ‘t’ or ‘th’ letter stem for an inclosed vowel. (And, in the community of scribes, I’ve taken to calling the product of this app ‘Kirkles’ rather than ‘Sirkles’ and will do so until they add the ‘c’ at the beginning of ‘circles’ as a soft ‘s’ sound. ;)

    • @TheSkribeOfSirkles
      @TheSkribeOfSirkles 15 днів тому

      Also also, since the VERY Beginning, we’ve done the script constantly. Every design ‘correctly’ written (even on day one) will still be accurate today. This is because we’ve been careful to add stuff that never makes what was one ‘correct’ now ‘incorrect.’ Such additions include the one dot and four dot letters, more punctuation, and advanced letter stacking. While this app does seem to only do the basics of what version one of Sirkles can do, (no letter C, only double letter stacking… etc), the differences in how it looks and reads boil down to the limitations of the code in the app and whoever wrote it… and I expect (and hope) that the official script continues to improve (and do so before people get too many tattoos with incorrect vowels and dots) that will later be retconned by the official translator app.

So we want to be classified and subclassified, and sub-subclassified? We're not insects. That's why they treat us like we are in so many cases, insects.
