= Phonology and Orthography of Sabian= | |||
The phonology and orthography of Modern-Sabian as finalised in the year 1934 after a period of standardisation following the end of WW1. The 1934 orthography effectively served to regularise the mediaeval spellings of Sabian words, in turn based off of mediaeval Polish, and as such is similar to modern Polish orthography while retaining many archaic features that have since been lost elsewhere. | |||
===Consonant Phonology=== | |||
* The consonant on the left is "hard", while the consonant on the right is "soft". If only one consonant is present, it is probably only soft. | |||
