==Writing==

There are ~~three~~ different scripts in use for Evandorian languages:

There are five different scripts in use for Evandorian languages:

* Most languages in the family use an adapted variant of the Íscégon script: such languages include all of the Western and Central branches plus Holenagic (isolate among the family), Nordûlaki, Spyŋun, Gathura, and Hyxynen (all Northern), Auralian and Nüktünian (Southern) and, since the last fifteen years, also Alsimian and Greubican (both Narenian languages).

* The Nivarese script is mainly used in the southern part of Evandor, and is the writing system used for Nivarese and all remaining Southern Evandorian languages, the Kegdevian languages~~, and Tørenči (a Narenian language)~~. Being the official script of Olymagù, it is also used by Urkunkian speakers to write their language, even if it mostly exists in oral form only.

* The Nivarese script is mainly used in the southern part of Evandor, and is the writing system used for Nivarese and all remaining Southern Evandorian languages, and the Kegdevian languages. Being the official script of Olymagù, it is also used by Urkunkian speakers to write their language, even if it mostly exists in oral form only.

* The Véraj script, originally an offshoot of the Nivarese script, is used for the Landward Velken languages and Vuljakađi (a Narenian language).

* 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.

Trešian, spoken in an autonomous region of Rūfīyya, is nowadays generally written in the Rūfī script due to it being the only official script of the country; however it has historically been written mostly in the Nivarese script.
