(I changed this to better show how the conclusion was come to and mostly because I see no reason to have a "need citation" mark on how women's script is written. All women in Vorin society would need to write with there right hand and using the pens that they do, writing in any other fashion would risk smudging the writhing and making a mess of them selves. The only other option would be from writing from top to bottom and there are no example of that.) |

The '''women's script''' is an alphabetic writing system used in [[Vorin]] nations, such as [[Alethkar]], [[Jah Keved]], and [[Kharbranth]], on [[Roshar]]. The script is a phonetic alphabet, meaning each symbol, or "grapheme", denotes a particular sound, or "phoneme". Each letter is determined by both shape and size. As is indicated by the name, it is almost exclusively used by women, as writing is considered a feminine pursuit. The women's script is distinctly different from [[glyphs]], which are a more logographic writing system (albeit with a phonetic component), which men are also allowed to learn. It is most likely written left to right in horizontal lines considering that the predominate users of the script write with their Right hand and all examples of formal writing seen appear in this format.

* The mapping between the women's script and the Latin script was first discovered by Harakeke on the [[Timewasters Guide]] forum.{{twg ref|7882|0|Navani's Notebook Translation|date=Sep 20th, 2010}}
