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. |
dj | d/di/id | The sound /ɟ/ was consistently denoted by C c before the vowels i and î, and by Di di before other vowels, including e and ê. Before other consonants and at the end of words it is denoted by id. |
g | g/gh | The sound /g/ was denoted by Gh gh before the vowels e, ê, i, î, and by G g before other vowels and consonants. Where it occurred word-finally and preceded by one of the vowels e, ê, i, î it was written gh for extra clarity. The graphy gh was in practice very rare, since the sound /g/ is rare in Slvanjec. One of the few words where it occurred was ghesel (modern gezel) 'yourneyman'. |
i and í | i/iu and î/îu | The sound /i/ was denoted by I i, and its long counterpart /i:/ by Î î, except when followed by an unpalatalized c /k/, d /d/, g /g/, l /ɫ/, n /n/ or t /t/, where they are spelled iu and îu respectively. |
j | y/i/ï | The sound /j/ was denoted by Y y, except between a consonant and a vowel, where it was written i, and when it occurred before a palatalized c /tʃ/, d /ɟ/, g /ʒ/, l /ʎ/, n /ɲ/ or t /c/ where it was written ï. |
k | c/ch | The sound /k/ was denoted by Ch ch before the vowels e, ê, i, î, and by C c before other vowels and consonants. Where it occurred word-finally and preceded by one of the vowels e, ê, i, î it was written ch for extra clarity. |
