As the syllabary draft is largely incomplete, there are many 'letters' lacking from our list. Below are bases for the missing "letters".

* For example, take the syllable ''fu''. There are currently 4 diacritics which change the syllable to ''fun'', ''fum'', ''funh'' and ''ful''.

===diacritics===
Diacritics above the main glyph of a syllable indicate either a coda (-l, -m, -n, -nh), an affricate, or both. Diacritics are used together with the corresponding fricative syllable to mark affricates. For example, take the syllable ''fu''. There are 4 diacritics which add a coda: ''fun'', ''fum'', ''funh'' and ''ful''. There is one diacritic which makes the fricative an affricate: ''pfu''. And then there are 4 diacritics which do both: ''pfun'', ''pfum'', ''pfunh'' and ''pful''.

This page is about the native script. For the ASCII romanization, see Transliteration.

Our native script is a syllabary, written from left to right. Each syllable has its own glyph. An early vote determined that we would use MalfermitaKodo's draft.

As the syllabary draft is largely incomplete, there are many syllables lacking from our list. Below are those we have already decided on.

Diacritics

All diacritics are placed in the same position: above the main glyph. For example: (tha, kan, nanh)

Naeso syllable tha.png
Naeso diacritic n.png
Naeso syllable ka.png
Naeso diacritic nh.png
Naeso syllable na.png

Diacritics above the main glyph of a syllable indicate either a coda (-l, -m, -n, -nh), an affricate, or both. Diacritics are used together with the corresponding fricative syllable to mark affricates. For example, take the syllable fu. There are 4 diacritics which add a coda: fun, fum, funh and ful. There is one diacritic which makes the fricative an affricate: pfu. And then there are 4 diacritics which do both: pfun, pfum, pfunh and pful.

Use a circle as the pfu (affricate, no coda) diacritic — VOTED IN
Use a T as the pfun (affricate, coda n) diacritic — VOTED IN
Use a diagonal line like \ as the pfum (affricate, coda m) diacritic — VOTED IN
Use a ^-shape as the "pfunh" (affricate, coda nh) — VOTED IN
Use an X as the pful (affricate, coda l) diacritic — VOTED IN
