====Writing System====
The Lortho [[w:alphabet|alphabet]] contains 21 letters, one of which is a vowel. The writing system behaves in a similar manner to an [[w:abugida|abugida]]; however, there are no conjunct consonants. Ligatures are formed by the combination of consonants and vowels (other than the vowel [i]). Lortho's script was inspired by the [[w:Devanagari|Devanagari]], [[w:Uchen_script|Uchen]], and [[w:Tengwar|Tengwar]] writing systems.

====Vowels and Vowel Constructs====
The vowels are written similarly to the vowels seen in [[wikipedia:Devanagari|Devanagari]]. Each vowel (except [i]) are attached to the preceding consonant forming ligatures.

====Word-Initial Vowels and Diphthongs====
For word-initial vowels, the letter [i] will be used as the place holder (unless the [i] is the vowel) and the additional vowel will be added as one would on a consonant-vowel ligature.
