The Old Jovlish writing standard was a direct continuation of the Late West Saxon standard used for the writing of Old English in the period prior to the Norman Conquest. | The Old Jovlish writing standard was a direct continuation of the Late West Saxon standard used for the writing of Old English in the period prior to the [[w:Norman Conquest|Norman Conquest]]. [[w:Acute accent|Acutes]] were added and standardized on consonants ⟨ć, cǵ, ǵ, sć⟩ in order to distinguish /t͡ʃ, d͡ʒ, j, ʃ/, and on vowels to mark length. /ʁ/ was spelled etymologically by adding a stroke to ⟨g, r, l⟩, thus /jɑːʁ, çiɔ̯ʁt, jɑʁd/ were spelled ⟨éaǥ, heoɍt, eałd⟩ (< OE ⟨[[wikt:eage|eage]], [[wikt:heorte|heorte]], [[wikt:eald|eald]]⟩) respectively. [[w:Eth|Edh]] ⟨ð⟩ and [[w:Wynn|wynn]] ⟨ƿ⟩ were also fully fell out of use in favor of ⟨[[w:thorn (letter)|þ]]⟩ and ⟨uu⟩, and word-initial/-final instances of /v/ were spelled as ⟨ƀ⟩. | ||
Spelling was mostly not standardized and left etymological during the Middle Jovlish period. The only two changes seen regularly occurring in Middle Jovlish period were ⟨ł⟩ fully supplanting ⟨ǥ, ɍ⟩ in all instances (⟨éał, heoł, eał⟩) and ⟨t, d⟩ dropping after ⟨ł⟩. | |||

The modern '''Jovlish script''' (Jovlish: '''{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|jóvalhomhott}}''', jóvalhomhott), also known as the '''[https://lexiconga.com/86838032/92 Jelkyn] Script''' ('''{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|jöqkünhomhott}}''', jöqkünhomhott) or the '''Royal Script''' ('''{{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|künhomhott}}''', künhomhott), was commissioned by Jelkyn Aşşīş II in order to increase literacy and accessibly of the Jovlish language, as part of a wider response to suppression efforts of the Jovlish language. Most of its letters are direct derivations of the common Jovlish Latin lettering convention, alongside some derivations from [[w:Cyrillic script|Cyrillic]], and newly-created letters. The wide adoption of the script effectively reformed Jovlish spelling to be much more phonemic. | |||
