==== Writing ====
There are at least three Rosharan writing systems, the Alethi [[Women's script]], [[Thaylen script]] and the [[Glyphs]].{{
Vorinism teaches that it is unnatural and not masculine for men to read and write in the Alethi script.{{
Although men being able to read Glyphs is permitted, people have a heavy prejudice towards [[Stormwarden|Stormwardens]], who have adapted glyphs into a full writing system, although this prejudice is largely due to the Vorin teachings about those who claim to see the future.{{
[[Glyphs]] are largely logographic, meaning writing symbols or pictures to convey ideas, rather than an alphabet like The Women's script.{{
Thaylen is an abjad, meaning it has little to no written vowels, instead, vowels are inferred. An example of this is the name of the slaver [[Tvlakv]].{{
Thaylen is typically written vertically
[[Dalinar]] describes the Thaylen writing system as looking like the tracks cremlings make{{book ref|sa3|59}}.
