The Old Anhic script ('''Old Anhic''': ''anhāqa ~~qrihman~~'') is an impure abjad with 19 total glyphs. Eighteen of the glyphs are used to represent consonants, the remaining one is used to indicate a prothetic or long vowel, generally /ɐ/. Words are written left-to-right, top-to-bottom with no spaces or interpunct between them. Diacritics did not originally exist, but a system of dots to indicate the other three vowels in Old Anhic was added later, natively called ''dāhass'' (lit. 'added'). Punctuation also did not originally exist, but a long vertical line was invented to indicate the ends of sentences, natively called a ''sttāhāss'' ('the standing').
