			===Spelling===
			Valian is written with the Latin script and has a very shallow orthography.

			The following letters are used: '''a b d e g h i k l m n r o p r s t v y ä ë ü'''.

			====Notes====
			*All vowel graphemes can be doubled to represent the long version of the vowel.
			*The consonants ⟨b d g⟩ represent the semi-voiced allophones ([b̥ d̥ g̥]) of the phonemes /p t k/ and occur only between vowels.

	There is only one series of plosives in Valian. The archiphonemes \|\|p t k\|\| have various realisations depending on the phonological context in which they surface. Usually unaspirated, they may become aspirated at the end of sentences and in pausa, e.g.,non-final ''päht'' {{IPA\|[pæht]}} (‘stone’) → sentence-final {{IPA\|[pæhtʰ]}}). The plosives are furthermore lightly voiced between vowels and after /n/ /m/ /l/, e.g., ''sede'' {{IPA\|[ˈsʲed̥ʲeˑ]}} (‘path’).		There is only one series of plosives in Valian.

Usually unaspirated, they may become aspirated at the end of sentences and in pausa, e.g.,non-final ''päht'' {{IPA|[pæht]}} (‘stone’) → sentence-final {{IPA|[pæhtʰ]}}).
