'''Thaylen script''' is the system of writing used by [[Thaylen]] men and women. Contrary to [[Vorin]] tradition, Thaylen men may learn to read and write.{{cite}}
 
== Structure ==
Thaylen script has no written vowels, which reflects the Thaylen tendency to smash vowel sounds together in their names and speech. The characters used in Thaylen script strongly resemble the basic form of Vorin [[glyphs]], though use of bilateral symmetry is neglected. There are thirteen known letters in Thaylen script. As with [[women's script]], Thaylen script is merely transliterated English, with vowel sounds ignored. Writing is oriented vertically, and letters may be distorted slightly for aesthetics.{{17s ref|name=decryption}}
