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. | |||
