Writing system of Doslox has graphemes derived from pictograms, and their order is based on an old story ('Halox Dozkepyr' or Hunter's Day' which is where the name originates): [http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/024/4/b/doslox_by_juhhmi-d5sjj22.jpg]. Later, Wadoslox was developed to simplify the script and make it easier to read: [http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2013/052/8/8/modern_doslox_by_juhhmi-d5vpsl8.jpg]. Each grapheme represents a singe phoneme or syllable, but the words for original pictograms didn't sometimes even include the actual letter - rather the sound was thought to be essential to the word: for example, symbol for 'j' comes from 'nanyalt' /nɑnjɑlt/ meaning 'loved'. With Doslox, every word can be written without raising your pen of the paper. | Writing system of Doslox has graphemes derived from pictograms, and their order is based on an old story ('Halox Dozkepyr' or Hunter's Day' which is where the name originates): [http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/024/4/b/doslox_by_juhhmi-d5sjj22.jpg].

Mid-sentence upper case letters can be marked with a line under the letter. With Latin script of course, these marks aren't used to avoid misunderstandings. | ||
