Mystic elven dialect

A melodious, complicated grammar version of elvish, which is an art in itself. Its practitioners are constantly improving it, which is why it is the most modern of the Utean languages. Its vocabulary is huge, collections of words and phrases approved by the King's Language Office are published in Ellerion every year. It is important for Zililon to "move with the times", they compulsively give names to new technologies, magic and everything.

Writing System

They use a runic alphabet consisting of fifty-two runes and a cursive consisting of nearly forty signs.

The former is mainly used for decorative inscriptions, art and literature, but it is the writing style that every child who is taught to read learns. The signs are based on the former line-wedge writing, like the Narmiron elven dialect, but today it is not really possible to compare the two. Like Humans and Dwarves, they use rudimentary printing presses to print books, the technology uses runic writing. The writing direction is from right to left or top to bottom.

Cursive is the invention of the "urban", educated classes, magic users, religious persons and diplomats. Like the Sheyarin Language, it has runic, simplified signs that only its cultivator can read accurately. Some spiritual communities use the same cursive signs, but this e.g. it may differ by religion and city. They learn punctuation either by copying from their teacher, or by experimenting and practicing independently. Without a doubt, it gives you the opportunity to take notes faster than drawing runes. Cursive writing is used in private correspondence, when taking notes and in more mundane situations (and to show off their sophisticated education). The direction of writing goes from right to left, as in the Sheyarin Language.

It is interesting to note that runic writing does not, but cursive writing uses certain punctuation marks: period and hyphen, and ~ and / also appear among the symbols. In the periodical, the numbers are marked with the format found in the Sheyarin Language.
