===Orthography===
Elven uses a modified version of Appius Claudius's alphabet, itself a version of Classical Latin orthography, notably incorporating the Claudian letter Ⱶ to represent the vowel /ɨ/ appearing as an allophone of /ɯ/ in Japanese proper. As per custom with Classical Latin, the orthography does not distinguish between v and u as well as j and i, using v and i respectively. Breaking somewhat from consistency with Classical Latin, the language uses exclusively the vowel digraphs æ and œ to represent /ai/ or /aɛ/ and /oi/ or /oɛ/ respectively, never accepting their multiple letter counterparts of ae and oe. Similarly, the language uses the letter X to represent the phoneme /t͡s/ in Japanese proper, being indistinguishable from /k͡s/ in Elven.

===Phonotactics===
The language is very similar to its direct ancestor in terms of phonotactics, with the primary exception being that any consonant may appear in  the coda of a syllable instead of only the phonemes /{{IPA|N}}/ and /{{IPA|Q}}/. In spite of this, all nasals syllable-finally are written with a n, and are not distinct phonemes.
