Some time ago, geblin began organically during the formation of a
dungeons and dragons game within the custom campaign setting world
of demidev.
This started with a list of vocabulary words and their definitions,
soonafter followed by a custom script, which has since been revised
a number of times.

geblin is sensibly zero indexed. Each base letter comes from a Sha'kaz sigil. Each base letter is also a number.
The intention is to release language and scripts materials as open source
or possibly in to the public domain.
To get digital fonts of each script made.
To get dictionary and grammar organized and digitized.
To petition debian to release digital content in its free repositories.
To encourage a system of 'dialects' by which anyone can add to geblin
in a modular way, so the language can adapt and evolve
beyond the scope of any single creator!
