Alternate writing systems?

Author: mitchells00

Hi, I've recently discovered Lojban so I can't speak a word of it, = but I was thinking after reading the description about the aim of the langu= age is to be culturally neutral, wouldn't it make sense for the simplis= tic-yet-elegant artificial language to have a simplistic-yet-elegant artifi= cial writing system? Keeping the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets as learning a= ids (like Pinyin).

The best candidate I've come across for this role would have to be Elia= n Script:

http://www.omniglot.com/writing/elianscript.htm
and
http://w= ww.ccelian.com/concepca.html

I think it would be the best choice because of the simplistic way it is for= med, how it is unique to any other alphabet/abjad, it's artificial, it = can be written in any direction and still be understood (allowing for more = cultural differences) and is, in my opinion, quite nice to look at.

Of course you could rearrange the script's alphabet to anyway one would= like (some standardisation in that process would be nice) for example the = vowels and auxiliary characters are on the first grid, while the second and= third are used for consonants?

Anyone else know of any others that might be suitable? Please post them!
Of course this is only a thought, and I would appreciate your feedback and = opinions. :)
