Depends on the region you are in, Cyrillic is more prominent in the Eastern parts of Kalmarium, mainly by native Chenarussians and Kalmar-Russ, while Latin is the official choice here and is more common in general, by those who are Kalmar-Germanic.

The Khzay technically has three scripts that are in usage, though none of them are truly "alphabets". The most commonly used is the Mik script, which is better described as alphasyllabic, posessing features from both alphabets and syllabaries. The Mik have both a printed and handwritten version. It is far from phonetic, but not too difficult to learn.

The second script really only consists of a handful of symbols in modern times. The Mayk script was once the only common writing system in the archipelago, though only a small number of people used it. Today a number of its symbols still survive in conjunction with the Mik. Despite being logographic, this is probably the easiest script to learn, simply because there are so few symbols actually needed these days.

The last script is the Takóy, which have a very explicit purpose, which is for the traditional spelling of names. Surprisingly these still remain in common use, though often on things like official documents they are accompanied by Mik transcriptions. These are probably the hardest to pick up, most of them have up to three different pronunciations depending on the gender of the name they are used in.

Edit:
An example of the common Mik + Mayk, for the sentence "ze šib kuk na ne ŝu ǩe", in the print and handwritten:

We use a chinese-style syllabic alphabet, although the characters themselves look more like Armenian characters. Official documents, however, are written in the ancient language of Fyrdinøsk, which uses a runic alphabet. There are many characters in that alphabet, and they correspond to the latin characters

We use Latin alphabet with extra vowel compounds.

by **Phocidaea** » Sat May 11, 2013 5:14 pm

The Latin alphabet. Almost identical to the ISO standard, but with two exceptions:

"W" is not used in our own language, and exists solely for writing foreign words.
"J" is considered, as it originally was in all European languages, a variant of "I", and is used to express [j] word-initially. "I" is still used word-medially.

All six vowels ("A", "E", "I", "O", "U", and "Y") can appear, with varying frequency, with a grave accent in native words. "I" and "U" can also appear with umlauts in native orthography. These modified vowels are not considered separate from the originals.

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, because the corporations paid our school board a nice sum to tell young creatures what those mean.
