Abstract (arXiv)

UniGlyph is a constructed language (conlang) designed to create a universal transliteration system using a script derived from seven-segment characters. The goal of UniGlyph is to facilitate cross-language communication by offering a flexible and consistent script that can represent a wide range of phonetic sounds. This paper explores the design of UniGlyph, detailing its script structure, phonetic mapping, and transliteration rules. The system addresses imperfections in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and traditional character sets by providing a compact, versatile method to represent phonetic diversity across languages. With pitch and length markers, UniGlyph ensures accurate phonetic representation while maintaining a small character set. Applications of UniGlyph include artificial intelligence integrations, such as natural language processing and multilingual speech recognition, enhancing communication across different languages. Future expansions are discussed, including the addition of animal phonetic sounds, where unique scripts are assigned to different species, broadening the scope of UniGlyph beyond human communication. This study presents the challenges and solutions in developing such a universal script, demonstrating the potential of UniGlyph to bridge linguistic gaps in cross-language communication, educational phonetics, and AI-driven applications.
