An example of one of my sophonts writing system

Vreem are a bug like sophont species roughly the size of a crow. I figured since they have crab claws they would have a hard time using cylindrical writing tools so I came up with a stamp like pen instead. This is an example of Khlhk one of many vreem languages in my setting. It uses a vertical script of lines and dots and is an agglutination heavy language, so an entire sentence or phrase is also a single word.

Also an example of some graffiti with a stylized version of the script.

Here we go!

Do you have a phonology for the language? Does it use nonhuman speech sounds or does it exist in a medium other than sound? Xenolangs are my thing.

nonhuman sounds that isn't technically speech. Vreem produce sounds similarly to crickets, i.e stridulation. I don't have a phonology just a general idea of what it sounds like. Essentially a collection of chips, buzzing, and clicks.
