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.
