If you are familiar with the tengwar (in the Quenya mode) of J. R. R. Tolkien, this will be a breeze for you. If not, don't fear: I will explain it fully for you and give some examples.
Instructions
The vowel signs always come above the consonant which precedes it. (The vowel signs are the signs for a, e, i, o, u, ae, au, and ui. Consonants are all the other letters, such as b, c, d, f, etc.) Let's look at a few examples:
The word for survival in Almalinian is galethrë.
As you can see, the a which comes after the g has
its vowel sign written above the g. Note that the
diaresis ( ¨ ) above the final e in galethrë isn't shown
when writing in the Almalinian system; it is only
used when using the common, Roman letters.
Some words begin with vowels, however. You can't put the vowel
sign above the consonant, because there is no consonant. Here's
what to do in that situation:
Adal. -- I am.
If the vowel does not have a consonant before it, you place the
vowel sign on a separate line, which looks like an undotted i.
This feature is also related to the tengwar of J. R. R. Tolkien.
To make a sentence in Almalinian, there must be a : at the
beginning and end of the sentence. To make a question or use
an exclamation mark, simply add their symbols next to the two :'s;
just make sure that if you are opening an exclamation or question,
you use the opening mark, and for closing the exclamation or
question, you use the closing mark. Here are two sentences in
Almalinian, and the second one is an exclamation:
Telmen adand enya. A arthath panyë. -- Those are funny. Find food!
