There are Alphabetic systems for Alther Ta'achs, and also a Romanized script. It was actually written in Romanized lettering before the other systems were created. Those systems laid the groundwork for all the Altherkin Scripts invented since then. The first script was called "Puma" and the second had no name at the time it was created (2009), but is now referred to as "Altherkin Script 1".
