The standardized Themsaran alphabet is a native alphabetic script | The standardized Themsaran alphabet, variants of which are used to write other Talsmic languages, is a native alphabetic script with 29 letters in addition to diacritics for vowel length and tones. In the earliest texts vowel length and tone were not recorded; diacritics for these were first devised for religious and official purposes and gradually came to be universally mandatory. In texts meant to be sung (e.g. poetry or hymns) the tone marks are substituted with various cantillation marks. | ||
