Tendrilis is a constructed script or writing system that is designed to look like vines. Tendrilis replaces the Latin alphabet and you can use it to write in English or any language that uses primarily the Latin alphabet.
This system could easily be expanded to work with diacritics as well. I've quickly sketched some possible shapes. Many diacritics work well in their usual form (dot, umlaut/diaeresis, acute, macron, breve), while others can be changed slightly to fit the aesthetic (grave, circumflex, caron, stroke, tilde, cedilla).
I see, I missed ogonek and comma. Maybe they could be the same shape as cedilla? Does any language distinguish between these?
@headword This is awesome. How about adding an ı and İ respectively? This may be very difficult, because in standard Latin writing we use I as the capital of i. In Turkish for instance, it's İ/i and ı/I.

in reply to Lumiukko • • •@lumiukko I thought briefly about the dotless i. Luckily, there are no capital letters in Tendrilis, so we won't need to worry about that.
I think the most elegant solution is to make a different letter for that. Perhaps a dot under the line? That matches well with the other vowels.
