The Mrácian orthography for Slvanjec

Modern Mrácian Description
á, é, í, ó, ú, ý â, ê, î, ô, oû, û Long vowels are marked with acute accent in the modern orthography but with circumflex in the Mrácian orthography.
c ç The sound /ts/ was consistently denoted by Ç ç, e.g. çêch, modern cék.
ch j/ch The sound /x/ was consistently denoted by J j, except before another consonant at the beginning of a word, where it was denoted by Ch ch e.g. Chrxtân, modern Chrsztán.
cz c/ci/ic The sound /tʃ/ was consistently denoted by C c before the vowels e, ê, i, î, and by Ci ci before other vowels. Before other consonants and at the end of words it was denoted by ic.

Where it occurred word-finally and preceded by one of the vowels e, ê, i, î it was written gh for extra clarity. The graphy gh was in practice very rare, since the sound /g/ is rare in Slvanjec. One of the few words where it occurred was ghesel (modern gezel) 'yourneyman'.
i and í i/iu and î/îu The sound /i/ was denoted by I i, and its long counterpart /i:/ by Î î, except when followed by an unpalatalized c /k/, d /d/, g /g/, l /ɫ/, n /n/ or t /t/, where they are spelled iu and îu respectively.
j y/i/ï The sound /j/ was denoted by Y y, except between a consonant and a vowel, where it was written i, and when it occurred before a palatalized c /tʃ/, d /ɟ/, g /ʒ/, l /ʎ/, n /ɲ/ or t /c/ where it was written ï.
k c/ch The sound /k/ was denoted by Ch ch before the vowels e, ê, i, î, and by C c before other vowels and consonants. Where it occurred word-finally and preceded by one of the vowels e, ê, i, î it was written ch for extra clarity.
kv qu The combination /kv/ was written Qu qu.
lj l/li/il The sound /ʎ/ was consistently denoted by L l before the vowels i and î, and by Li li before other vowels, including e and ê. Before other consonants and at the end of words it is denoted by il.

sz sc/sci/x The sound /ʃ/ was consistently denoted by Sc sc before the vowels e, ê, i, î, and by Sci sci before other vowels. Before other consonants and at the end of words it was denoted by x.
