Description
I am a big fan of Doctor Who and had always been fascinated by the circular Gallifreyan. Also, I am going to try make my own written old Gallifreyan writing. It's funny that the language in the Doctor Who series changes every time! However, that's the fun of it though. It allows us fans to interpret the language in our own special way.Anyways, this is my version of certain words in Circular Gallifreyan.
If you guys like it, post in the comments on which words I can try making Circular Gallifreyan. Don't put any dirty or derogatory words please. :S
Just give me a challenege guys!

Thanks. Well, I never thought about that. I honestly don't wanna go that far in numbers at least not yet.

Hey any chance you could write out a word for me? I'm thinking about getting it as a tattoo, but don't know how to write in the language myself.

Those would be cool as animated glyphs that would change according to
context being presented, whether chemical, mathematical, physical, racial
or - mythological according to galactic sector being translated in, & dialects
being some sort of logical substructure within each sector and language!

AHHH hello, I have a super bizarre request; believe it or not I'm actually building a cosplay of the personified Time Vortex x'D I'll be wearing a customized suit for it, and it would be THE coolest thing if I could monogram the "Vortex" symbol on the suit? Would it bother you if I did that? ;3; I'd love to send you a picture once I'm done~! ;w;

Someone came up with this version and it seems to work well to create the right look and be reasonably easy to read.
This has the guide they made: [link]
And this is someones explanation that might help: [link]
hope that helps anyone interested. It looks really cool and Gallifreyan with a little practice!

How did you come up with these? Did you get them from the show or make them up or have like a proper system.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I got it from the show. There are some instances in the earlier Doctor Who that showed written Gallifreyan. It's absolute gibberish. I just had to write in a way so it would appear Gallifreyan.

These are Amazing! Well Done!
They are beautiful and make sense.
There are a lot of people wanting a written Gallifreyan language that they can refer to and basically geek out to!
I and other's would love to know how you came up with your symbols. Do they correctly corelate to symbols in Doctor Who or did you asignn your own words? -Whovians want to know! And thank you for your work.
There is also talk of asking the BBC for the right to use what Gallifreyan there is for fans to create a written language and then see if they want to use it. A lot of people are surprised that The BBC have not done this already. But then that seems to be part of the added mystery. No matter how much it may frustrate Whovians everywhere.

Well, I do have references to Circular Gallifreyan that showed in Doctor Who and this was before The Good Man Goes to War. I even looked at other Gallifreyan to give me an idea.
I wasn't even aware that writing systems for Circular Gallifreyan existed on the internet. ^_^;; I just decided to design it for fun. I treated it as a design exercise. I have done four parts and fifth one is coming along slowly. Just many things going on and it actually takes time to design these symbols. I had to play around with the circles and manipulate them. I even rotate them to see if it gives out a meaning.
How I come up with the meanings and the symbols is hard to explain. It just clicked somehow.
I hope that's enough. It's hard to even explain the process of how I make them. It just happens. ^_^

Oh okay. I was just wondering since im becoming increasingly obsessed with the idea of actually making a proper Gallifreyan writing system with word circles inside sentence circles and so on. Although its really conplicated.

Hey there man. Hows everything going? Very recently I happened upon your drafts and ideas for Gallifreyan writing. I was hoping to end up using a few of them in something I was doing, and I was wondering if you could help me figure out another symbol along the lines of your other ones. I am trying to figure out what the symbol for Electricity would be. Would you mind helping out at all. Thanks for you time

I absolutely love these! What's your visual pattern to form a word?
Here are my suggestions for words:
TARDIS, heal, healer, flower, safe, fire, hurt, breathe, believe, alien, water (as a drink) water (that you swim in, wash clothes, etc), food, flower, sun, dead, alive, past, present, future, rose, thought.
Also, considering the Time Lords have 13+ lives you could have different forms of "me" to indicate which "me" the Time Lord is referring to, as well as differnt forms of past/present/future to indicate which incarnation's point of view is being referred to...
I can go on if you like. lol

"Don't put any dirty or derogatory words please."
What about those times when one's TARDIS just isn't working right and one needs to punch in that one special word?
Remarkable stuff here. There should be a set of Gallifreyan stencils...

So if we ask you for a word, can we, with your permission, take that and get a tattoo of it?

You can only do words, yes? Would a poem be too much?
