Nordaþ words are stressed in the penultima, typically. However, if the word ends in a doubled vowel, then the ultima receives the stress. Compounded words are stressed as if each word within were a separate word. | Nordaþ words are stressed in the penultima, typically.

This article deals with the alphabet, punctuation and orthographic rules of the Nordaþ language. For detailed information on the pronunciation not found here, see also Nordaþ phonology.
Alphabet
Nordaþ language |
---|
Pronunciation |
The Nordaþ language is written using the Latin alphabet with a few special characters: ä, ë, and ï. Until recently, those letters were not considered separate. However, this was changed in the Penkesiondhyntiondnääseshyntidäuseniletreemejaisdei (1995 Spelling Reform), which also included the removal of doubled consonants.

Punctuation
While Nordaþ uses standard sentence endings, Nordaþ uses quotation marks in a different manner than English. ‚ and ‘ are used to begin initial quotes. „ and “ are used for quotes within quotes.
Stress
Nordaþ words are stressed in the penultima, typically. However, if the word ends in a doubled vowel, then the ultima receives the stress. Compounded words are stressed as if each word within were a separate word.
