Scripts of the World
Several of the languages of Veth have been given their own scripts. Languages with bolded names have (a) usable and learnable writing system(s). AnkenahAnkenah, the magical language which spawned modern Najji, originally used a set of ideographs to try and capture the essence of the universe in order to distill it into something understandable and usable by human beings. ArangothekArangothek has its own writing, which you can see explained here. AssiThe Assi language apparently uses a system of ideograms. TeldanarThe desert-living Teldanar use an as-of-yet-unexpounded-upon heiroglyphic writing system. |
