The Avendonian alphabet consists of 18 letters, five of which are vowels and 13 consonants. There are no diacritics, and the only two standard contractions make use of the apostrophe to mark vowel omission.

===Prosody===
While its vocabulary derives for the most part from Proto-Germanic, Latin influence is most notable in its phonology and its grammar, featuring no case system besides some remnants in personal pronouns forms, as in most of the modern Romance languages
Avendonian is strictly paroxytonic, meaning words always receive stress on their second-to-last syllable.
except for some religious terms which derive from Latin, as it was the language used by the Chrstian church (e.g. '''{{term|crocefiso}}''' “crucifix”, '''{{term|Goto}}''' “God”, etc.).
: '''{{term|spraca}}'''&nbsp;(SPRA-ca)&nbsp;/{{IPA|ˈspra.ka}}/, '''{{term|ordo}}'''&nbsp;(OR-do)&nbsp;/{{IPA|ˈor.do}}/, '''{{term|bucaria}}'''&nbsp;(bu-CA-ria)&nbsp;/{{IPA|bu.ˈka.ri̯a}}/, etc.
Monosyllabic words like '''{{term|blio}}''' have the stress in their only syllable, but it is weaker than those in polysyllabic words, unless emphasized. Enclitic and other unstressed personal pronouns do not affect stress patterns:
: '''{{term|elpare}}-{{term|te}}''', /{{IPA|el.ˈpa.re‿te}}/ and not /{{IPA|el.pa.ˈre‿te}}/
Longer words (4 and more syllables) may receive a secondary stress in the fourth-to-last syllable (i.e. two syllables before the main or primay stress):
: '''{{term|sobgrundsporvego}}'''&nbsp;/{{IPA|sob.ˌgrund.spor.ˈve.go}}/, '''{{term|surstopitio}}'''&nbsp;/{{IPA|ˌsur.sto.ˈpi.t͡si̯o}}/
