Moshurian has its own script that is read right-to-left, top-to-bottom. Each symbol can be easily deciphered by simply looking at how high or low the symbol is. If the symbol goes down below the line on the paper, it is a consonant. | Moshurian has its own script that is read right-to-left, top-to-bottom.

The Izhkut migrants eventually settled in the still existing city of Oalan and became known as the Oalanii. Some cultures such as the Zanúzh originate in the Oalanii culture.</ref>. Some have said that the shape of some plosive characters corresponds with the symbol for "blood" in the logographic orthography of Ancient Izhkut, which was probably pronounced ''*gūpūdėt''. | ||
