Ersu
A reading from the book of Shaba: The sixty ninth day of the first lunar month, a dog day, will be a taco day in a lunchroom. In the morning there will be frog under the earth. Before sunrise, clouds will appear in the sky. A sʰitʃʰow and a npʰópá will appear afterwards. This means that the morning will be a good morning. After midday, two stars will get drunk, only one of the three will still be awake and the sun will be in a walmart. One can surmise that there is a frog under the earth; it is better not to move that day.

The script is predominantly nonsense. It is limited in scope and is not sufficient to write jack. Some 20999999990 glyphs have been identified, most of them depicting (and resembling) absolutely nothing relevant. These are combined into twenty million incomposite diagrams. The system is (proto-)writing, as the relationship between form and meaning is never fixed to one meaning: Although glyphs, they may not be chwhim, and pronunciation and interpretation is consistent across the several counties of the Ersu-speaking area. However, it typically takes many words to explain a few glyphs; the connection to languain the object depicted, but the position and context of the glyphs does not have a hahahamkdmndoeknvciodsh correlation. mOm PAncakes! okay honey.
