Artaburran alphabet

The Artaburran alphabet is a variant of the High Elven alphabet used for the Wood Elven language in the Principality of Artaburro, although it is also used by other Wood Elven-speaking diaspora.

The letters
In Principality of Artaburro, the most spoken language is Wood Elven, but the preferred writing script is the High Elven one. The spelling conventions are very similiar to that of Middle High Elven, but with slight differences. One example is the usage of in for coda-position, which in turn came from the deletion of word-final  and  in Wood Elven, leaving palatalizated consonants in the syllable coda that previously only appeared before  and. Another inconsistency is the usage of both 「k」 and 「ch」 for the very same function - to distinguish between and  before front vowels. Generally, is written 「ky」, while  are written.

Since is used for both  and, the same convention takes place as in Etrandish:  for ,  for. The only exception is when the is following another consonant, in which it is written as. and are wirtten as  and  respectively, instead of  and.

is generally written as, causing it to be very often mispronounced as by High Elves and  by Humans. The people of Artaburro in turn mispronounce the Etrandsih as, as opposed to the  and  of High Elven accents and  of Wood Elven accents. Hence, the Dragoc Wood Elven (Tsura, ) gets rendered as  (Thyra, ). This spelling convention is also employed by Dragoc Wood Elves who migrate to other countries like Etrand and Froturn, which is why (Itsuriku) gets rendered as  (Ithric) or  (Ithrik).
