The actual language was used telepathically so speaking of phonology is in vain. Originally, a hexagon script system was constructed to help humans focus on what they are receiving and to create a way of documenting and sharing messages. According to the archives on the Isle of Fire, if one is not familiar with the system, their brain will construct a personal experience, which is hard to grasp and remember. The following romanization was developed later. | The actual language was used telepathically so speaking of phonology is in vain.

According to the archives on the Isle of Fire, if one is not familiar with the system, their brain will construct a personal experience, which is hard to grasp and remember. A person's mother tongue has also a great effect on how one defines the "sounds" thus giving monasteries a reason to raise children with Lordlang as their mother tongue to decipher Lords' speech with more certainty. The following romanization was developed later. | ||

Some systems prefer voiceless nasals, but experience has shown that prenasalization is easier to deceive for an unaccustomed ear. | |||
