'''Aons''' are a writing system used by the [[Aonic]] peoples of [[Arelon]] and [[Teod]] on [[Sel]]. They are logographic, meaning they represent words and meanings, as opposed to an alphabet which represents sounds. Instead of being an invented system like most scripts, the Aons already existed and were discovered through trial and error.

* In addition to Aons, there is also an Aonic Alphabet, in which each letter is a single sound, that is used for sounds that can't be produced from Aons. Brandon never fully developed that alphabet, but it is similar to the Korean writing system [[wikipedia: Hangul|Hangul]].{{wob ref|820}}<!-- previous {{cite}} tage here mentioned "a google signing from the Shadows of self tour," but I didn't find anything like that mentioning Hangul -->
