So I love languages and codes, especially in the realm of Fandom. My first introduction was the Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer which had secret messages encoded on the bottom of the page in the gnommish language (which is actually a script but for simplicities sake, lets not get into semantics). From there I was interested in elvish and klingon and Gallifreyan and any number of substitution ciphers.



So then I was introduced to Steven Universe and of course, the Gem language. There is no translation for the gem language on the show and I am not going to try translate it right now. But I still wanted a way to write in ‘gem’ so I made a script, loosely based off of “Write your name in Elvish in 10 minutes”

So, under the cut, Here’s the alphabet

First step! Write youre name backwards (gem,according to some extrapolation from Peridot’s kindergarten explanation is written right to left)



Second step, make sure that your vowels are grouped with the Letters that come next



Third step, write your Consonant letters in ‘Gem’



Fourth Step, add in your vowels!

“But Wierd!” You ask “What if the vowels don’t fit with where you put them in?”



Eh. I say in return. All the vowels are supposed to go inside a square so if you can make one that doesn’t look like a ‘V’ then use that, If the vowels don’t fit (like in that ZI pair up there) move the lines so they look like gem letters.

Lets do some better words.

Of course this isn’t supposed to be a way to directly translate the Gem we see in the show.

but if you need some writing for aesthetic and you want to avoid thinking to hard about it (like me) then here you go!

(but if you could credit me that would be great)

Anyway, Have fun, let me know what you come up with!
