-===Snenuppais===
-[[File:Rttirria.png|thumb|right|250px|Rttirria's flag, the ''Ppawipu''. The unusually sparse design, consisting solely of a dark green background intended to resemble forest, adorned by three white squares intended to resemble a ''snenuppai'', has long been interesting to [[w:vexillology|vexillologists]].]]
-Rttirri's trademark art form is the ''snenuppai'', which translates literally as "little family" and consists of a three-panel comic, arranged from top to bottom. Snenuppais are used for many serious and comedic purposes in the present day, such as for [[w:political cartoon|political cartoons]] in newspapers, illustrations in children's books, pamphlets at religious ceremonies and in many Rttirri editions of [[w:Hinduism|Hindu]] sacred texts, and instructions on appliances.
-The origins of snenuppais are unknown, but short visual stories have been found in etchings in stone, clay, and petrified wood all over western Rttirria, some of them dating back to at least the 8th century CE. These visual stories are of various lengths, but usually between one and five panels long, and usually arranged vertically. They were used for various purposes including recording the histories of families, cities, and kingdoms; keeping track of inventories and debts; predicting the future; and allowing newly married couples to write out their wedding vows.
-Perhaps most notably of all, many of these early comics, even those used to tell narratives, used blocks of symbols intended to convey speech and narration. Linguists have analyzed these symbols and found no meaningful correspondence between them and any known stage of the Rttirri language, but because of the non-literal nature of many symbols used (for example, a drawing of a head shaking was sometimes used to signal negation), it is hypothesized that if Rttirria had been isolated from Arab and Indian peoples, these symbols could have eventually evolved into a [[w:logogram|logographic]] writing system like that of [[w:Chinese characters|Chinese]] or [[w:Maya script|the Mayan languages]].
