if you're going to make a syllabary, do not think of classifying the letters into a consonants group and a vowels group.
rather you should think of it as a table of CV combinations.

what you should do is: gather alllll your consonants (THAT IS, THESE) on one axis
get allllll your vowels (THESE) on the OTHER axis
taking an example from hiragana, this is what it should look like:


THEN you should make a bunch of symbols that add a consonant to the end of a syllable. because you have made a table of CV combinations. and to get the final C in CVC you need to do this. you don't have to enable all consonants to be added to the end.
continuing to take examples from japanese, they have a special character to add an -N to the end of a syllable.

you could do the same thing for the X in CXVC or you can combine symbols like japanese: き ki + や ya = きゃ kya.
you can also just add diacritics to evolve completely new sets of glyphs like japanese さ sa + " dakuten = ざ za

you also need to keep it more regular than how it currently is.

also, the proper term for "uppercase language" is bicameral script. because a language is not just a script.

The thin red juice from steaks on the rare side is just water and a protein found within the meat which gives it its color.

literally everyone has told me it was blood, weird. i've also heard rare meats have a risk of carrying a disease or something, so that's probably why almost everyone i know hates it
like even when my italian teacher told us how italians like rare meat she said it in a tone as if it were a strange and surprising thing to do. what's going on here?

well done is pretty good and if you like anything colder than that then you're an uncivilised primate

but in reality i havent actually eaten anything other than well done and i would like to try rare because it honestly seems weird to me, eating meat with blood

try reading in Esperanto, it doesnt have any roots with latin or greek

esperanto's main source of words were romance languages (along with germanic). romance means they come from latin.
esperanto also has a few greek derived terms.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto_etymology

its hard to create a language.

not for me ｈ ａ ｈ

this script looks closest to a syllabary; like hiragana, katakana, or cherokee.

though if those are the sounds each one make, that is pretty limited imo
what you should do instead, is to first make a table of consonants and vowels, and fill in most of them with glyphs. you can either have all filled in, and/or have a few missing, or have some weird ones that dont make sense (like how japanese suddenly has tsu in its t series).

you should therefore learn a little on how the IPA works.
at this moment these videos will help on this section of the language; phonology, and they also explain the IPA.
other videos on grammar and syntax are expected to be uploaded.

absolutely do not limit the number of glyphs based on the number of english letters.
if you need any help with the grammar/syntax i can help

hey that's pretty good i vote for this

I think it was called Feel Good Inc. By Gorillaz

since this song was on demon days, would this count as a vote?

also, can we still vote for albums after they made it onto the list?
