 This article contains phonetic transcriptions in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). For an introductory guide on IPA symbols, see Help:IPA. For the distinction between [ ], / / and  , see IPA § Brackets and transcription delimiters.

The Phyrean script is an alphabetic writing system employed in much of the Orddonach, originally meant to encode the Phyrean language. Today it is also used to write Ascon, Toamts, Hogharrhyan, and many other, mostly Namuno-Ethian languages. It is prolific as well in colonies founded by Namuno-Ethian-speaking peoples, such as those found in southern Gogg.

Letters

Sound values given here are based on the original Phyrean pronunciations of these letters. Different languages may present significant differences, but the baseline remains mostly uniform across all languages that have adopted the script.
