Description
My earlier alphabet for Rutulan had some problems with the shapes of letters, so I spent some time thinking about how to go about fixing them. I'm making a conscious decision to maintain this as the general form of the alphabet (other versions and styles may come about).

The less common letters, if you're familiar with Latin orthography, will mostly show up in loanwords from Greek (or whatever hoooorrible twisted form Greek takes in this alternate universe I'm building). Eventually, I may post a grammar, but now here is merely the alphabet. Works nearly the same way as the Latin alphabet, apart from the handful of extra letters, and certain diacritical and punctuation marks I've explained elsewhere (and neglected to place on this deviation . I may do that later). For now, the only thing you really need to know is that length is marked for both consonants and vowels using a macron, so geminated consonants are not written double but with a line over them. I've also resurrected certain archaic spelling conventions.
