Writing System Notes

Capitalization

In Kyrachyng capitalization indicates whether or not a noun is plural and how plural the noun is. There are three different pluralities: singular, plural, and extra plural. Singular has no letters capitalized, plural has the first letter capitalized, and extra plural has the first and last letters capitalized. Extra plural is a way for speakers and writers to emphasize that there is a lot of the plural noun.

Phonetic Precision

Kyrachyng aims for phonetic consistency. The written form closely represents pronunciation, making it relatively easy to pronounce once the phonetic rules are learned.
