Dh'oriân

Natively known as: dh'oriântha, the official language of the Endinsian continent and culture.

Writing System

Dh'ôrian thama

An image containing the letters of the dh'ôrian alphabet

Dh'ôrian thama is a vertical writing system, reading right to left. Except in the instance of the chart I made. That...was me practicing on the side there. Sorry.

Geographical Distribution

Found throughout End'oria, Vininsia, and parts of Rhanalan and Iuchar. It is taught in most other countries, including Str'ana but excluding Naa'ran. The Naa'rani people will not learn dh'oriân because of biases against the country.
