The Glastonbury University Transcription System (GUTS) is a romanization system for the Albic languages, developed (intrafictionally) by linguists of Glastonbury University (extrafictionally) by Jörg Rhiemeier. The purpose of this system is to provide transcription symbols from which an orthography for each language can be created.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stops | voiceless | p | t | tx | cj | c | cx | |||

- Aspiration is marked by an apostroph following (for postaspiration) or preceding (for preaspiration) the consonant symbol.
- Affricates are written by their components, e.g. ts.

Long vowels are marked with an acute á; in languages and dialects that distinguish thrusting and slipping tone, an acute marks thrusting tone and a circumflex â marks slipping tone.
