Introduction
Eastern Voþken is a daughter of Voþken that came as a result of the isolation between the western and eastern divide after the Fire Rebellion.
Phonology
Romanization
The romanization was chosen with the intentions of, first, being as easy as possible to type on an American QWERTY keyboard, secondly, to be relatively close to IPA representations of phonemes, and lastly, to preserve as much of the historical orthography from its mother language. However, there is a second romanization system used with the sole intent of preserving the representation of historical spellings with there being a direct relationship to the native orthography.
