12480 Notes and Guidelines

This page provides the restrictions, and leniencies that govern how 12480 should and may be used.

Notes

Words could be stored as their binary value rather than by their character code number. That means that a 4 letter word would only take 2 bytes instead of 4 (or more).
The radix (base) of the script is determined by how many binary digits can be represented in a single vertical segment.
There is an infinite number of ways to write binary.
The number of possible words of a certain length can be determined by using the formula rⁿ-r ^n-1 (Except when n = 1). The r is the radix and the n is the number of letters in the word.
A more unique pronunciation could be archived by changing the voice of the consonant or the nasalization according to the surrounding symbols.

The 12480 scripts are written from left to right in horizontal lines from the top to the bottom of the page. The baseline underline is able to change this.
A word should never require to begin with zero since leading zeros should be optional and they do not change the value of a number.
One letter words are illegal. All words should be 2 to 16 letters in length.

A word should always start with a consonant. An alternating consonant-vowel (CVCV...) pronunciation should be used for words. For single letter words (illegal), the schwa may follow the consonant if it cannot be pronounced as a single syllable (syllabic).
A number should always start with a vowel. An alternating vowel-consonant (VCVC...) pronunciation should be used for numbers.
Primary stress should fall on the first syllable.
"R dropping" should never be done if rhoticity is used.
Uncentralized vowels should not be centralized.
Unrounded vowels should not be rounded.
Rounded vowels should only be more rounded.
Labialization may not be used to round unrounded vowels.
The modification capable alphanumerics should never modify the previous phoneme if it would cause the phoneme to have a different meaning. For example, a 2 (0010), which is any form of [r], may not be palatalized because it would change the meaning into 1 (0001), which is [j].
The vowels of 0, 1, 8, and 9 are usually used when they are last in a word or syllable.

A letter mark may be placed before or after a word, but a preceding letter mark is recommended.
An em dash (a large dash) may be used as a hyphen.

All phonemes may be voiced or unvoiced as long as they are audible.
All phonemes may be trilled, especially for emphasis.
The labiodental equivalent to bilabial phonemes may be used instead of the bilabial phonemes.
The dental, postalveolar, and retroflex equivalent to alveolar phonemes may be used instead of the alveolar phonemes--except for fricatives. Only the postalveolar fricatives may be retroflexed. The dental and alveolar fricatives should stay as they are.
The uvular equivalent to velar phonemes may be used instead of the velar phonemes.
The approximant and lateral approximant phonemes may be taped or flapped.
All vowels may be nasalized.
All vowels may be pharyngealized.
