Daulerim Alphabet

The Daulerim Alphabet is the primary script of the Daulerim language. It contains a total of twenty glyphs, which are used to represent the Daulerim phonetically.

History

The Daulerim script is transparently derived from the Emat Syllabary. Most glyphs show a transparent origin in corresponding Emat glyphs. The reason is that Daulerim, or rather Nostiran languages, were written in differing variants of the Emat system. The usage varied and was concisely different from the way, that Emat itself was written. While Emat was used in the way of a proper syllabary (Abugida actually), adaption to other languages often made use of implied vowels, which could be omitted. Thus the graphemes for /d/ and /g/ evolved out of signs for t(o) and k(i). The current iteration of the Daulerim standard language and the usage of its script, were standardised during the rule of Astalan in the 2th century after Dauler the Great. The basis for this standard was mainly the Malarite dialect.

Alphabet

The script follows the same order of consonants and vowels as the Emat syllabary is organised. Instead of going according to a table, Daulerim letters only follow a linear order.
This order is spelled out at: (Left column) be, et, es, že, še, ek, he/ha, em, en, a (Right column la, ra, i, ghi, e, ve, ge, u, do, o.
Apart from there, there are a handful of non-standard ligatures. Most noteworthy are the -im ligature and the -ta ligature. The diphthongs and can also be written by ligatures, consisting of combinations of the letters and , aswell as and .
