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 is denoted by ic.
