<!-- | <!-- Orthography | ||
Vindamal is written using a modified Latin alphabet with a largely phonemic orthography, in which each phoneme is represented by a single letter. The system is designed to be simple, consistent, and closely aligned with the language’s sound structure, while also reflecting visual influences from early Germanic writing traditions. | |||
Consonants | |||
p, b, t, d, k, g, f, v, þ, ð, s, š, h, m, n, l, r, j | |||
Vowels | |||
a, e, i, o, u, y | |||
Long vowels | |||
ā, ē, ī, ō, ū, ȳ | |||
Long vowels are marked with a macron and occur only in stressed syllables. | |||
Practical orthography | |||
In contexts where special characters are unavailable, a simplified ASCII-based system is commonly used: | |||
þ → th | |||
ð → dh | |||
š → sh | |||
long vowels: ā → aa, ȳ → yy, etc. | |||
These substitutions are purely orthographic and do not reflect differences in pronunciation. | |||
