Orthography
Standard Baphian uses both the Ukilen logography and Noellastani alphabet in a mix script to write the language. The logography is heavily preferred and is used the most in standard Baphian including with grammatical concepts, but it is not uncommon to see those written in the alphabet. The alphabet is used mainly with place names, onomatopoeia, and sometimes grammatical concepts.
The following table shows the Noellastani alphabet as its used in standard Baphian in alphabetic order.
