[[File:Arnic-alphabet.jpeg|300px|thumb|left|The Arnic alphabet/abugida.]]
Arnic uses its own left-right top-down alphabet/abugida, which is derived from the [[Psér#Orthography|Psér alphabet]]. One clear difference is that the Arnic alphabet can be written as an abugida, with each vowel having its own diacritic form.
====Rules====
Though most text is written phonetically as described in the diagram to the left, there are some non-phonetic rules regarding Arnic orthography.
# Suffixes(mostly case suffixes) can not begin with the diacritic form of a vowel
# No word can start with a diacritic vowel; this is the most common use of the non-diacritic vowels.

All nouns are categorised by animacy: either animate or inanimate. Case markings for nouns and pronouns change based on the animacy of a noun. As an example, take the noun ''meshal''("man"). ''Meshal'' is animate, so the surrounding case markings change as so:
