Olorexh

The Olorexh alphabet was invented by Thomas Maska to write his invented language, Olorexh. The language is a splicing of two other languages invented by Thomas, O'horex and Alar. O'horex was much too harsh and Alar was much too soft so he combined them by using most of the grammatical structure of Alar and using O'horex vocabulary and pronouns.

Internal History

Olorexh is spoken by a druidic people who live in the four regions of Adrael's kingdom. Fya, Lera, Dhenos and Mnea. It was once the common language of all the peoples and regions, sent to them by God. However corruption in Church and Scyros led to the use of a new common tongue over the centuries, rendering the Holy Books illegible by most people.

Notable features

Olorexh has no natural spacing, words are separated by circular symbols.
Direction of writing: left to right in horizontal lines.
It has twenty two consonants, thirteen vowels and diphthongs and three space holders.
It has a Tehtar style vowel system, with the vowels resting atop the following consonant.
Vowels, because of their importance, have specific names but consonants do not. To refer to a consonant, one simply starts the name with the consonant sound and adds "ae" to it.
