Circular Gallifreyan is mostly written in a series of interlocking circles. Each word is composed of other circles and a sentence is encapsulated by a yet bigger circle. A word is written inside a '''word denoter''' and each word goes inside a '''sentence paradigm''', which will be explained later on. | |||
=== Consonants === | === Consonants === | ||
They are classified by '''consonant bases''' and then sub-divided by '''consonant add-ons'''. | |||

On the following table we have to the right the bases and on the top the add-ons. The straight line under the base symbols represents the word denoter and its relation with the bases: | |||

|| || ʔ || || || || || || || | || || ʔ || || || || || || || | ||
|} | |} | ||
=== Vowels === | |||
They are as well classified by a base called '''dot bases''' and these divided by '''directional lines'''. Each vowel is written along the consonant that comes before. If the word starts with a vowel or there are no consonants before the vowel is placed on the word denoter instead. | |||
On the table, the right column represents the dot bases and the top arrows the directional lines. The semi-circles on the right symbolize the consonant bases. | |||
