Consonants.

Traditionally, Kēlen claims five stops (ansāoriki anpōhi). They are written thus:

p (japōha japiēxa)	or
t (japōha japīra)
s (japōha jaxīwa)
c (japōha jūsne)	or
k (japōha jakōλa)	or

There are the five fricatives (ansāoriki ankōrji) to complement the five stops:

w (jakōrja japiēxa)	or or
þ (jakōrja japīra)
x (jakōrja jaxīwa)
j (jakōrja jūsne)	or or
h (jakōrja jakōλa)	or or

Then the fourteen sonorants (ansāoriki antāni):

m (jahīña japiēxa)		and    mm (jahīña japiēxa jōma)
n (jahīña japīra)		and    nn (jahīña japīra jōma)
ñ (jahīña jūsne)		and    ññ (jahīña jūsne jōma)
ŋ (jahīña jakōλa)		and    ŋŋ (jahīña jakōλa jōma)
l (jatāna)		and    ll (jatāna jōma)		and    λ (jatāna jūsne)
r (jatāna jarūsa)		and    rr (jatāna jarūsa jōma)		and    rj (jatāna jarūsa jūsne)

Vowels

The vowels come in short and long:

i		and    ī
e		and    ē
a		and    ā
o		and    ō
u		and    ū

The diphtongs also come in short and long:

ae		and    āe
ao		and    āo
ie		and    iē

The vowel y, which occurs in Eastern Kēlen, is usually written the same way as i .

Punctuation consists of a to mark spaces between words (this is optional),
and a (;) to mark the end of clauses or sentences.

An example

   is the equivalent of
selnirre anlāsa sū-lānōraen; "We (1p-paucal) give you (2p-plural) welcome at(to) Lānōraen."

Other Scripts

The Kēleñi pride themselves on their artists and craftsmen. This page shows an example of some box script found in the ruins of Āttarein, where the dialect is very different.

And then there is the ceremonial interlace alphabet.
