Menu 1. Glyph table 2. Writing words 3. History
Fádallan script is primarily a syllabary-abugida, that is some glyphs are predictable from their components, like an abugida, and others are more unique, like an syllabary. There is a alphabet that could theoretically be used to write all words but only children who are still learning to write do that.

The script is descended from the Dulic script. The more observant among you may notice that the CV glyphs are just Dulic character mashed together and the whole thing is made a lot more cursive and loopy.

You may notice that the characters for <g> and <u> are both <g>. The two are differentiated only by context. soz lol

[edit] [top]Writing words

The characters <: ;> indicate that the previous vowel is repeated, with the general acute marker on the indicator if the repeated vowel has an acute. So, <uu> would be written <u:>, <uú> as <u;>, <úu> as <&:>, and <úú> as <&;>.

All syllabic glyphs are of CV format, so to break a word down we start with those. The romanisation is essentially a transcription of the script.

Break the word apart on either side of a CV section
- biidíasuun → bi - i - dí - a - su - un
If a vowel follows a CV glyph with the same vowel, turn the second vowel into a length marker
- bi - i - dí - a - su - un → bi - : - dí - a - su - : - n
Turn them all into their script versions
- bi - : - dí - a - su - : - n → I - : - 8 - a - su - : - n
???
Profit

[edit] [top]History

I mentioned earlier that the Fádallan script is descended from the Dulic script. Let's have a closer look at that now.

Glyph	Dulic	Fádallan	wot
i	i	i	This is a bit obscure. Essentially the 'arches' were simplified to loops and the second one was curved back into the first, so as not to collide with u.
u	u	u	Fairly simple, the circles were joined into a single stroke as a loop.
e	e	e	Probably the most easily spotted correspondence, the Fádallan equivalent is basically just a curvier version of the Dulic.
o	o	o	lmao
a	a	a	The top curve is brought back to connect with previous glyphs.
b	v	b	BLAH
c	q	c	BLAH
d	d	d	BLAH
g	g	g	BLAH
h	h	h	BLAH
k	k	k	BLAH
l	l	l	BLAH
m	m	m	BLAH
n	n	n	BLAH
p	p	p	BLAH
s	s	s	BLAH
t	t	t	BLAH
w	w	w	BLAH
