Denobulan has its own native script, also a form of alphabet. The script is made up of four characters, a small, a ringed, and a big circle, and a connecting line. All letters have two circles, and consonants have connecting lines with another circle | Denobulan has its own native script, also a form of alphabet. The alphabet was custom crafted in preparation for the planet's unification. It was designed to be easy to learn and practical to write. Some have been critical though, because the lack of diversity in letters makes it hard to learn for dyslexic people. The script was designed in an era where typing was already dominating over handwriting, and was optimized for typing over writing. The script is made up of four characters, a small, a ringed, and a big circle, and a connecting line. All letters have two circles, and consonants have connecting lines with another circle. Below is the full Denobulan alphabet. | ||
