    Judging by the cover art for Cities of the Sun, written Basarji looks
    very similar to Arabic. 'Self-Study Arabic' books in your local
    library should be of some help, or, you can always cheat a little and
    simply copy words from already-printed Arabic, whether it's from a
    book or the ingredients list for a tin of baked-beans (don't laugh,
    I've seen it happen).

    Basarji

    Has anyone developed the written language of Basarji? What are the =
    characters of the language? =20

    I am thinking of throwing a small segment of a treasure map to my party. =
    However, no one in the party is of Khinasi descent and no one in the =
    party can even speak Khinasi (Basarji) let alone read and write it. So, =
    I thought it would be a good adventure hook to have words written on the =
    map in Basarji, and possibly creating that item for the party.

    If no one has developed the language, does anyone have a good idea on =
    where to find info on which to base a written language?
