Notes

The script and the language were named after Melrone, one of Murray's original characters.
The Melronian language contains some loanwords borrowed from Welsh, Spanish and sometimes English, and the declensions and conjugations are based on Latin.
The diphthong "ai" only occurs at the end of a word and typically indicates a plural nominative or vocative case or a singular genitive or dative case.
Melronian can also be written in Tengwar. This is known as the Melronian mode.
