Tipskrift alphabet

The Tipskrift alphabet (Tisplansk: 𐍄𐌹𐍀𐍃𐌺𐍂𐌹𐍆𐍄 𐌰𐌻𐍆𐌰𐌱𐌴𐍄, tr. Tipskrift alfabet) is a as codified for writing in Tipsprek and Hawkreath Anglic. It is a, consisting of 26 letters in a a single with no.

The alphabet developed from earlier Gothic scripts that had themselves split from the Lykoraen alphabet endemic to southeastern Thalaky in the 4th century CE. The first examples of a uniquely Tipskrift alphabet, separate from western Artemian Gothic scripts in use by Teutonic societies of the time, date to the 10th century CE shortly after the Teutonic invasions of the Goidelia subcontinent.

Although Gothic script is used by several Teutonic writing systems, today the Tipskrift alphabet is only common in Tiperyn and areas where Tipsprek is spoken. Former colonial Anglic dialects have universally adopted as the basis for their alphabets post-colonialization. Although the Romantic-Anglic alphabet is becoming increasingly popular in Tiperyn's Anglic-speaking areas as a casual and digital writing system, the Tipskrift alphabet remains the official writing system for Anglic education in the country.

Hawkreath Anglic orthography
The Tipskrift alphabet is novel in that it is both used as a primary writing system for Anglic speakers in Tiperyn that can be transliterated into Romantic script and a secondary or unused alphabet for Anglic speakers outside of Tiperyn. The alphabet's application to the Anglic language inside of Tiperyn is generally referred to as the Hawkreath writing system after the dialect of Anglic endemic to the Duchy of Hawkreath (otherwise known as Tiperyn Standard Anglic).

When it comes to consonants, the Hawkreath writing system is generally more phonemically consistent than other Anglic alphabets that make use of Romantic script. (sounds) generally correspond to fewer distinct (written symbols) in the Hawkreath writing system than in overseas Anglic orthography. Examples of this characteristic are listed in the table below:

Additionally, there are consonants in the Tipskrift alphabet that don't exist in the Romantic-Anglic alphabet or would require the combination of consonants, such as 𐍈 (hw), 𐍇 (ch), 𐍊 (sh) and 𐌸 (th). However, not all consonants are perfectly phonemic. In Hawkreath Anglic, "𐍅" represents both the sounds /w/ and /v/ equivalent to the Romantic letters "w" and "v" respectively. In Hawkreath Anglic, the sounding of /w/ and /v/ is context dependent. By contrast, in Tipsprek, "𐍅" only represents /v/ while /w/ is absent from the orthography.

Hawkreath Anglic has relatively high similar to other branches of Anglic. With only 5 single vowel graphemes, but 35 vowels in Hawkreath Anglic, the vowel a letter actually represents is completely context dependent. This contrasts with Tipsprek which has phonemic vowels.

Additionally, the Tipskrift alphabet does not use (∅). Whereas an Anglic speaker outside of Tiperyn may write daughter, pneumatic and gnome, an Anglic speaker from Tiperyn would write 𐌳𐌰𐌵𐍄𐌴𐍂 (dauter), 𐌽𐌴𐌿𐌼𐌰𐍄𐌹𐌺 (neumatik) and 𐌽𐍉𐌼𐌴 (nome).
