====General Remarks On Orthography====


Magellanican has a variety of native scripts collectively known as (Mag: Quljekatti Telkun) which were logo-syllabic like Mesopotamian cuneiform and were largely under the control of a scribal class. When the Latin alphabet (Mag: Quljekatti Quurapan) was introduced in the 17th century, its ease of use enabled more widespread literacy and a severe decline in the influence of the scribes.
Avalonian had no native script until the arrival of Irish monks in the 10th Century. The Latin alphabet (Aval: Quljekatti Ruman) has undergone many changes and revisions over the centuries. The current version was adopted in 1908.


Quljekatti Quurapan is currently the dominant orthography with the role of the various Quljekatti Telkun writing systems being restricted to ceremonial or artistic use.
Avalonian spelling in Quljekatti Ruman is a deep orthography which reflects etymology and phonological processes such as sandhi.
