Orthography

UNDER REVISION

While Elw has a calligraphic script, Elw is generally written with the Latin or Cyrillic script. The calligraphic script is used in art and for decoration, but in every-day language, either Latin or Cyrillic is employed.

The modern alphabet in Latin and Cyrillic is:

Latin Upper Case	A	AA	B	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K	L	LL	M	N	O	OO	P	Q	R	S	T	U	UU	V	X	Y	Z
Latin lower case	a	aa	b	d	e	f	g	h	i	j	k	l	ll	m	n	o	oo	p	q	r	s	t	u	uu	v	x	y	z

Elw orthography has been reformed a few times since becoming a literary language when sounds change over time.

The most common obsolete letters are these (which can still sometimes be seen in names and signs):
