Ancient Laudean was lost for thousands of years, and only rediscovered recently by Professor Anson Robertson of the Federation Embassy. It consists of 10 numerical digits (0 through 9), and 26 alphabetic characters. Unlike "English", however, only 24 are traditional "letters" (missing the "c" and "x"), while two are actually consonant blends ("ch" and "sh"). | Ancient Laudean was lost for thousands of years, and only rediscovered recently by Professor Anson Robertson of the Federation Embassy.

As well, only four punctuation marks have been discovered so far. | ||

Ancient Laudean was written vertically, from left to right, not horizontally. Each "column" was considered a complete thought...a sentence. If a sentence was too long to fit on the medium and needed to be continued there would be a small space at the top of the next column (ie. an "indent") and the sentence would continue on from there. | |||
