Hi Everybody,
Supak Tewantop,
I've been meaning to join this group for a while. It's really cool that you're all still here and that this board is still up and running. Most Atlantis fan boards have been deleted or abandoned, as have most of the websites.
I hope to post more later. For now let me say that I'm a fan of the Atlantean language created by Marc Okrand. I saw the movie in July of 2001 with my dad when I was 14. At that time I really became interested in the Atlantean alphabet. Atlantis the Lost Empire really started my interest in archaeolinguistics.
After a few years of studying and working with other ancient writing systems (from non-fiction, however), I returned to Atlantean last December. This time I approached the Atlantean Alphabet from the standpoint of using it to write real Atlantean.
Well, I hardly believe it, but in these last two months (mostly the first half) I've written a book on Atlantean, "Atlantean Grammar". It's a grammar and dictionary combination for the language. I discovered how Atlantean is written by analyzing freeze frames from the movie. These and other discoveries or theories build on the work of a number of fan discipherers. Chief among them are Paul Sherrill, Atlantima, Delalyra, Rebmakash, Leenay, and a few others, mostly near-anonymous contributers to the Wikipedia article.
Anyway, after this I'll post something about free Atlantean lessons. It's great to be apart of this board.
Friendly Good-bye's,
