Firal Speach

This secret language is an adaptation of the users mothertongue using a cypher that translates letters to signs. A Firal Mark is required to magically translate any firal message. Those without a Firal mark may slowly think they can make sense of the gibberish message, but once they blink their eyes the message looks completely different.   The language was invented to convey secret messages and documents between Firal members. The decreasing numbers of Firal members however have naturally lead to a significant decrease in the number of users of the Firal language. Less hidden messages are written and they are not read as often. Up to this day, the Firal messaging system has hardly ever been decrypted, and when it was cracked it was only ever for a single message at a time and never for the entire encription system which is randomly generated through magic. Due to the randomness stemming from the Firal magic, the encryption system can not be thought and can only be acquired through becomming a Firal member and receiving the Firal mark. Small children with an activated Firal descendent's mark that were able to read these messages have been told they are imagining things by adults wihtout a mark.   The above message for example (see article header) translates to "The quick brown fox jumps, over the lazy dog."

Morphology

Most signs consist of a combination of streaks and curves. Signs are connected into words by a horizontal line. Wherever there is no horizontal line can be interpreted as a space in common. There are no capital letters in the font. Commas are denoted by a filled dot under the end of a word connected by a vertical line. Periods are denoted by a filled dot above the end of a word connected by a vertical line. Questions and exclamations are denoted by stripes on the left of a comma or period and on the right respectively. Exclamation and question marks can be combined with commas, for increased nuances.
