* Tørenči uses its own script, as does (unofficially) Trešian, spoken in an autonomous region of Rufisgen, which is nowadays generally written in the Rufian script due to it being the only official script of the country; however, its native Trešian script has been the predominant written form of the language for centuries. | |||
Note that Hyxyn is a digraphic country, using officially both the Íscégon and the Véraj script for Hyxynen. The Véraj script is predominantly used in formal contexts, while informal writings are in the Íscégon script. Hyxynen as spoken in Majkjar as well as Majkjaržen (whose status as a separate language is disputed) are however only written in the Véraj script. | |||
