As in Jax-Ur? Tsk tsk.
 
Yeah that would rock. I still hold out hope for a film or a trilogy of films but a TV series would be awesome. They'd just need to put it on a network that would give bigger funding than a CW show (that's not a knock on CW shows btw I love Arrow and Supernatural).

Don't get me wrong, I'd love a movie based on that also, I just think a TV series of sorts whether animated or live action is more feasible. And it's not a knock against CW. I don't mind a bit of Supernatural myself. (God I miss Smallville :sheds tear:)The missus loves her 90210 lol :)
 
I think you finally figured out what I was saying earlier...they have the house og -Lor the house of -Van the house of -Tor and the house of -An

so if someone gets the house of -Tor that doesn't exactly mean that they are in the same house as Tor-An...

Your misquoting I never said that the House of -Tor is the same as house as Tor-An

Oh yeah I agree on that think we'd be more likely for an animation than anything else, at least for now. I just think if people really take to the Krypton portions of the films and shops sell out of Jor El action figures they may consider the film franchise.

I loved Smallville too

Hey they have something for everyone :woot:
 
I'm big into languages and I'm curious to see whether someone has actually gone to a great deal of effort to create Kryptonian or whether they've just created a bunch of random shapes.

Hey jmc, I have something to show you :awesome: remember the DSRW text from a couple months back? Well I think I've finally reverse-translated it and thus I THINK I've unlocked the Kryptonian language!!


:wow:

It's a freaking abjad!!!!

If I assume that the "flipping" of the letters follows the vowel arrangement, and furthermore that a is in fact the most common vowel based on the House names, I think I may be able to find the corresponding translation!!!!!! The vowels must follow the appropriately flipped consonants, so I must assume that the "regular" consonant glyph is either unmodified or as in the "a-position. The notches in the brackets must then indicate either a modified or unmodified consonant glyph. I'm assuming the small notches indicate an unmodified consonant and the large "swoops" indicate a final letter. Both the first and third words have a small notch above the first vowel glyphs, so they must have an inherent a unless otherwise indicated.

Therefore:

Mati s'den garon nexo.
(You alone are not.)

YOU ARE NOT ALONE.


:awesome::woot:!!!!!!

I was right..the large swoop indicates an unmodified consonant, as shown by the Kryptonian transcription of English in the user names :woot:

That's cool but have you taken into account consonant clusters? Are there letters for 'ch', 'sh', 'ts' etc. And what about vowel variations like 'ee' and 'y'. Good work though! :)
 
I'm the House of Da which stands for Harmony, Synergy, and Music

My name would be Jos-Da (my real first name is Joseph so Joseph-Da or even Jo-Da wouldn't sound right):woot:
 
hey Sentinel, whats your symbol?

I am Lord of the House of Ak, Jef-Ak, Master of Art, Inspiration and Beauty :woot:

As far as consonant clusters go there aren't many, except ð (voiced/voiceless dental aspirate, I'm not sure yet).
 
I took the liberty of going through and finding all twenty names. I added the "-El" just for fun. Enjoy!

Makes me wonder which 5 are the "Chief Houses"...there is, after all, a Council of Five in Kandor.
 
Is anyone having issues on Droids going to the glyph maker? It was working yesterday on my phone but it's not anymore...
