Please download and install the Bin Tahr Font for proper viewing.

Also I'm lazy and don't want to debug my CSS for other browsers so...
get Firefox.

Bin Tahr Font Test

Just tweaked the crap out of the CSS on this blog so I can post better translations. Here's a sample.

BEn Taq--- Been Tahrr One Two
CEm ay-- Kdeem Ahdz Love Deeply

Even thought that took a while, I still got it to work with very little code...I'm sure that I can get it to work with less, but hey, I've spent two days on it so far...

More comments to come on how I accomplished all this with easy and small code. Phew, took a while. Now to reformat old posts.

Pronounciation and the English port of Bin Tahr words

As demonstrated in previous posts, the characters in Bin Tahr are completely phonetical.

  1. Top consonant
  2. Middle Vowel
  3. Bottom consonant

Together, these three things comprise on word, or character. In the font, just hit the space button to advance to the next character after building the current character. NOTE- Sometimes more than one button must be pressed in order to achieve the desired character. NOTE 2- In this table, the "English" column represents the keys pressed to make the character you see in the "Bin Tahr" Column

The Bin Tahr alphabet/phonetics goes as such:

B--- B B
P--- P P
S--- S S
SD--- Sh SD
D--- D D
F--- F F
G--- G G
J--- J J
H--- H H
K--- K K
C--- Kd C
L--- L L
M--- M M
N--- N N
R--- R R
Q--- Rr (rolled) Q
T--- T T
TH--- Th TH
TR--- Ch TR
W--- W W
V--- V V
Z--- Z Z
Y--- Dz Y
A--- ae A
a--- ah a
E--- ee E
e--- eh e
I--- ei I
i--- ih i
O--- oo O
o--- oh o
U--- ew U
u--- uh u

Character Composition

The Characters are easily composed using a font called Bin Tahr and can be obtained by clicking the previous hyperlink. The language when typing is very easy to get used to. The capitalized consonants are the top part of a character, and the lower cased consonants are the bottom parts. The middle portion of characters are always vowels, and the case changes the pronunciation. I have to go socialize, but before I do I apologize for the previous post and how the alphabets didn't line up. One day I'll line them up, but in the mean time, just point with your fingers to find out which is which.
