Your nation's writing system

[Cill Airne]

There are many writing systems used in the world. From alphabets such as the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets, abjads such as Hebrew and Arabic, Abugidas such as Canadian Syllabic and Ethiopic and Logographic+Syllabic such as Hanzi and Kana/Kanji. We would like to inquire more on you're nation's writing systems including transliteration systems such as romaji and pinyin. Provide an example if you can.


The Elvish languages of Cill Airne are written with the writing system known as Lindalë. Lindalë is an abjad writing system, although historically in southern areas an alphabetic version of Lindalë, known as Tyendalë, was used. The Elvish languages were first transliterated into the Roman Alphabet in 1730 using a system known as Romanë (based on "Roman") by Catholic Priest, Michael Gregory. Romanë was later replaced in 1813 by Rómenya, created by government scholars hoping to improve on the transliteration system.

Lindalë:


Romanë:
Ahtareyma i yeah han yeah,
nah ayrey ehsel'ya, araneeyaylya nah tooloovah
nah karey indoh meylya kehmende tahmbey Eyroomahndey
Ahmen ahntah seerah eelahooreyah mahsahma
Ahr ahmen apsehney ookkareymahr seev ehmey apsehned teeyen i oocahrehr ehmen;
Ahlahmey toolyah oosahteeyehnah mal ahmey eteyleytah oolcooloh
Nahseeyey.

Rómenya
Átaremma i ëa han ëa,
na aire esselya, aranielya na tuluva,
na care indómelya cemende tambe Erumande.
ámen anta síra ilaurëa massamma,
ar ámen apsene úcaremmar sív' emme apsenet tien i úcarer emmen;
Álame tulya úsahtienna mal áme etelehta ulcullo.
násie.

[K oyena]

K'oyenese is written with these latin letters: a b d e f g h i j k l m n ñ o ó p r s t u ú w x y z

[Free Union of Collective Kingdoms]

Our language is very similiar to the written English langauge. It has all the 26 letters of the English alphabet and all the words are exactly the same. The only difference is that each word is placed in a random place on the piece of paper. It is up to the reader to determine what the writer meant. This has admittedly caused some confusion in the past.

[Estainia]

The Empire actually doesn't have a native writing system. Our native writing is pictographic in nature, ergo we use hieroglyphs. We didn't have a 'proper' alphabet until the Romans colonised us in the Iron Age. We have sense adapted their Latin Alphabet and for some time we also spoke their language though it later degenerated into the Alisonian we speak now.

[The New Dog Nation]

We have, since our original founding, wrote with an English system.

Dogspeak is only a spoken language, not a written one.

[Ko-oren]

The names of the 15 states in Ko-oran (the word 'Ko-oren' is at the top):

[Allmann]

The Commonwealth uses a modified Greek alphabet. In some circles of society Latin is gaining followers.

[Soled]

We use latin letters, including the nordic æ ø å.

[Jukraina]

Latin letters including Ä and Ö

[Nation of the Genuine Peoples]

We currently use the Latin alphabet for our most spoken languages; there has been a Cyrillic alphabet proposed for especially Lojban and Ithkuil, but failed due to possibly affecting the literacy rate of current citizens. Despite this, the government is on the way to utilise an original alphabet designed for speediness of communication or adopt Içtail (Ithkuil's writing system).

[The Silverlake Union]

The Silverlake Union uses all the 26 Latin letters (a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z), along with the Esperanto Letters (ŭ ĉ ĝ ĥ ĵ ŝ) and Dipthongs (aŭ eŭ oj aj ej uj) making a 28 letter alphabet of a b c ĉ d e f g ĝ h ĥ i j ĵ k l m n o p r s ŝ t u ŭ v z. In Silverlake English, many words are spelled with the Esperanto letters (cow is spelled caŭ, leisure is spelled leiĵure) and instead of putting a h after a letter you add a circumflex (ch becomes ĉ, sh becomes ŝ). This language is used throughout the empire and does not change in each nation; this was made into law at a conference when the minister of public relations said "It would be too damn complicated".

OOC: They should start adopting this for English in real life.

[Auzkhia]

We mostly use the Latin alphabet, but some languages in the realm such as Ukrainian and Serbian use Cyrillic.

[Taidar]

Mainly Sanskrit. Taidari also used Jawi and Latin alphabets.

[Free Tristania]

We use the Latin alphabet. Including the è, ê, ë, î, ï, ô, ö, û and ü (which are usually not seen as separate letters) in Dutch Free Tristanian and the ſ (or long S) in both Free Tristanian Dutch and Free Tristanian English. So Free Tristanian Dutch and English both have 27 letters.

[Novye Sagallo]

The Latin, Cyrillic, & Braille writing systems are used officially. In addition, students are taught to be literate in the Arabic, Devanagari, Hangul, Japanese Kana, Greek, & IPA writing systems which are part of the curriculum. Teaching the art of writing has long been considered an important in Novye Sagallo, though there are many who have criticised the subject as being superfluous.

[East Equestria]

We use the Elian alphabet to write Equestrian, and the latin alphabet to write English.

[Yaramaqui]

[Lukquarel]

A B C D E F G H I H K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

In the Lukquan language, these accent marks are also used:

Ā Ē Ī Ō Ū and Á É Í Ó Ú

[TurtleShroom]

TurtleShroom officially uses the 1899 AD Latin alphabet, where the ampersand ( & ) was the twenty seventh letter.

We use the traditional Latin Alphabet as it was in the early 1800s, with some additions to suit the TurtleShroom culture. The bottom three are taught as additions, not the core alphabet of twenty seven letters.

Did you know that the ampersand was once the twenty seventh letter of the alphabet? It still is, in TurtleShroom.
The © ® ™ symbols are taught as well.

Before the nineteenth century, TurtleShroom used both Cyrillic (Russian and Ukranian) and Latin letters (English). It took nearly a century to phase Russian out of the populace for ease of speaking to turtles and mushrooms, which formed English sounds better. The farther back one goes, the more Cyrillic replaces Latin.

[Osway]

Oswegian uses the Latin alphabet with 40 letters:

A, Á, Ä, B, C, Ć, Ç, D, E, É, Ë, F, G, H, I, Í, J, K, L, M, N, O, Ó, Ö, P, R, Ŕ, S, Ś, Ş, T, U, Ú, Ü, V, X, Y, Ý, Z, Ź

[Novo Portugal]

We use Latin alphabet, more specifically the Portuguese alphabet.

[The First Republic of the Seventh Bay]

In native Cascadian, it is very similar to English for the "o" is written as a character with a conjoined "o" and "r". Most residents are fluent in Cascadian and English.

[Lamaredia]

The Equestrian written language is binary

[Socialist Republic of Fri]

Our glorious nation uses the latin alphabet including the letters ä and ö. Our prosperous and unique writing-style is also vertical.
