The Kordi language has been adapted to many scripts. Here are some examples:

LATIN ALPHABET
Lowercase: a ą b c ć d e ę f g ǵ h h́ i į j k l m n o ǫ p r s ś t u ų v w z ź
Uppercase: A Ą B C Ć D E Ę F G Ǵ H H́ I Į J K L M N O Ǫ P R S Ś T U Ų V W Z Ź

CYRILLIC ALPHABET
Lowercase: а аң б ц ћ д е ең ф г ґ ҳ х и иң й к л м н о оң п р с ш т у уң в ў з ж
Lowercase Cursive: а аң б ц ћ д е ең ф г ґ ҳ х и иң й к л м н о оң п р с ш т у уң в ў з ж
Uppercase: А АҢ Б Ц Ћ Д Е ЕҢ Ф Г Ґ Ҳ Х И ИҢ Й К Л М Н О ОҢ П Р С Ш Т У УҢ В Ў З Ж
Uppercase Cursive: А АҢ Б Ц Ћ Д Е ЕҢ Ф Г Ґ Ҳ Х И ИҢ Й К Л М Н О ОҢ П Р С Ш Т У УҢ В Ў З Ж
Note: The ң is usually attached to the vowel in handwriting, even in handwriting that separates each letter. Any vowel with ң is seen as one letter in word puzzles, unless otherwise stated.

GREEK ALPHABET
Lowercase: α ά β ϲ ϲ᾿ δ ε έ φ γ γ᾿ ῾ ῞ ι ί η κ λ μ ν ο ό π ρ σ ς τ υ ύ β᾿ β῎ ζ ζ᾿
Uppercase: Α Ά Β C C᾿ Δ Ε Έ Φ Γ Γ᾿ ῾ ῞ Ι Ί Η Κ Λ Μ Ν Ο Ό Π Ρ Σ Σ᾿ Τ Υ Ύ Β᾿ Β῎ Ζ Ζ᾿
Note: The ῾ and ῞ should always have the tail to the right, and the ᾿ used in some letters should always have the tail to the left.

Usually differs with each region. The most common language (and dialect) is the Tiger River dialect, which goes like this:
Latin Letters
Ā, A, Ă, B, Č, Ç, C, D Ë, F, G, H Ï J K L M Ň Ő Ò Ó P, Q R S, Ť, T Ű V, W Z.
ā, a, ă, b, č, ç, c, d, ë, f, g, h ï j k l m ň ő ò ó p q r s ť (lower case version of Ť) t, ű, v, w z.
Notice: X and Y are dropped from the alphabet in all dialects.

Cyrillic Letters (This is relatively uncommon and is only found in the rural areas)
Й Ц У К Е Н Г Ш Щ З Х Ъ Ф Ы В А П Р О Л Д ЖЭ Я Ч С М ИТ Ь Б Ю
й ц у к е н г ш щ з х ъ ф ы в а п р о л д ж э я ч с м и т ь б ю
(This is in order of keyboard but is very different for alphabet writing)

A B C D E F G H I L M N O P Q R S T U V X Z Ç Ã Õ
a b c d e f g h i l m n o p q r s t u v x z ç ã õ

The letters {ç ã õ} are distinct from {c a o}, and listed after z in dictionaries and alphabetical indices. On the other hand, {á à é í ó ú} are not considered their own letters, since the accent only changes the stress and not the pronunciation. A few letters aren't used at all: {j k w y}.

There are two predominantly spoken languages in Stroulia, English and Denalingvo. The alphabet for English is the same as in other English-speaking countries.

Denalingvo is the native tongue of Stroulia, with it uniquely having been constructed language based on both the mostly lost ancient language and Indo-European languages, and as such has a slightly different alphabet to English.

Denalingvo Alphabet

Since German is Lillorainen's official language (at least on federal level), Lillorainen uses the same alphabet as the German language, which is the same alphabet as the English one, but contains the umlaut as a variation (not part of the alphabet, however, but rather 'special characters'). However, unlike the German-speaking countries, with the exception of Switzerland, Lillorainen does not use the 'eszett' (ß) - but generally uses 'ss' instead (or, if it's necessary to avoid ambiguities, 'sz').
Minority languages, which include (regional) forms of Danish and Swedish, might also know the 'Ø/ø', occasionally also the 'Æ/æ'; Swedish also uses the 'Å/å' - the latter is, unlike the Danish in Denmark, not used in Lillorainian Danish (as the Swedish 'bolle-å' was introduced to Danish in the 1948 spelling reform in Denmark, which didn't concern Lillorainen due to the mere distance). Other minority languages, for instance those of Slavic origin, may have additional characters such as 'č' and 'š' in addition. Yet others may have altered systems not requiring any characters that don't exist in English.

A variation of the Old Norse language is still in use in Lillorainen as well, mostly in religious contexts, in which, by tradition, Runes are used. While there is an official Latin transliteration for this language, the Runic alphabet is still taught in schools (either as a compulsory subject, or as a voluntary additional course, depending on which state you're in).
The Futhark alphabet is mostly based on a variation of Younger Futhark:

ᚠ ᚢ ᚦ ᚨ ᚱ ᚹ ᚴ ᚼ ᛁ ᚾ ᛦ ᛋ ᛏ ᛒ ᛘ ᛚ.
F u th a r k h n i e z s t b m l.

Unlike other peoples of Norse origin, Lillorainen has only rarely punctuated or otherwise altered Younger Futhark characters in order to allow phonetic distinction with characters referring to more than one phoneme (except for ᚢ, which may refer to both 'u' and 'ü/y'), but kept distinctive characters from Elder Futhark:

ᚷ ᚹ ᛃ ᛇ ᛈ ᛟ ᛞ.
g w j æ p ö d.

Since Lillorainen's geography is currently being overhauled a 'tiny' bit, most information on it posted before December 12, 2018, is not entirely reliable anymore. Until there's a new, proper factfile, everything you might need to know can be found here. Thank you. #RetconOfDoom (Very late update, 2020/08/30 - it's still going on ...)

As Carrawenian orthography is based on Old Irish orthography for both historic and geographic reasons, the Carrawenian Alphabet is very similar to the standard Irish alphabet, with the following additional letters:
  • ʾ (latin letter right half-ring) — historically this represented a glottal stop, but now marks a syllable boundary between two vowels.
  • ʿ (latin letter left half-ring) — historically a voiced pharyngeal fricative, but now is identical to ʾ in pronunciation (or, rather, lack thereof)
  • , , , and q — historically represented an unvoiced pharyngeal fricative and pharyngealised versions of t, s, and c respectively. In modern standard pronunciation, they are merged with their plain counterparts.
  • š and — in the classical form of the language, these represented ʃ/ɕ and s/sʲ respectively; in the modern language, they are pronounced h and s/ʃ respectively.
  • z — only employed in the classical form of the language; in the modern form, all instances of classical z yield modern dh

Additionally, sometimes phonemic h is written with a bar (ħ) to distinguish it from h in digraphs rising from lenition or historic sound shifts, although this is considered nonstandard orthography.

There was a time when Alzatia was part of the Holy Roman Empire, and its language was part of a broader German dialect continuum. But since the breakup of the HRE, Alzatian has diverged into its own language, separate from "standard" German. This is reinforced by the use of a distinct alphabet, namely the letters {â ô û ç} instead of {ä ö ü ß}. In addition, the lexicon and grammar are also very different (but much closer to the Austrian, Bavarian and Swiss dialects, as well as the Luxembourgish language). It's kind of similar to how Spanish and Portuguese became their own languages.
