The Derani alphabet (Toaq:    (áofabeta mı Deranı)) is the official native writing system of Toaq, first introduced in Toaq Delta. It is the successor of Hoelai.

Symbols

Below is a list of Derani letters. Vowels share letters with consonants.

Derani Latin Name IPA
M  (mameı) /m/
B, U  (bubue) /b/, /u/
P  (pıpoq) /pʰ/
F, E  (fofuaq) /f/, /ɛ/
N  (nanaq) /n/
D  (dudeo) /d/
T  (tıtıeq) /tʰ/
Z  (zozeo) /d͡z/
C, I  (cecoa) /t͡sʰ/, /i/
S, A  (saqseoq) /s/, /a/
R  (raırua) /ɾ/
L  (laolıq) /l/
NH  (nhanhoq) /ɲ/

Unicode encoding

To type Derani characters, we use the block EDB0–EDDF of the Unicode Private Use Area. Check out the toaq/fonts repository on GitHub for fonts that can display these characters. See here for typing Derani.

EDBx EDCx EDDx
0 DERANI LETTER MAMEI DERANI LETTER VEVA ◌◌ DERANI COMBINING DIPHTHONG MARK
1 DERANI LETTER BUBUE DERANI LETTER AQ-AQ ◌ DERANI COMBINING RISING TONE
2 DERANI LETTER PIPOQ DERANI LETTER GUGUI ◌ DERANI COMBINING LOW GLOTTAL TONE
3 DERANI LETTER FOFUAQ DERANI LETTER KIKUE ◌ DERANI COMBINING RISING-FALLING TONE
4 DERANI LETTER NANAQ DERANI LETTER O-AOMO DERANI MODIFIER LETTER PREFIX
5 DERANI LETTER DUDEO DERANI LETTER HEHAQ DERANI QUOTATION MARK
6 DERANI LETTER TITIEQ DERANI SUBORDINATION MARK
7 DERANI LETTER ZOZEO DERANI DECLARATIVE FULL STOP
8 DERANI LETTER CECOA DERANI OTHER FULL STOP
9 DERANI LETTER SAQSEOQ DERANI INTERROGATIVE FULL STOP
A DERANI LETTER RAIRUA DERANI START OF CARTOUCHE
B DERANI LETTER LAOLIQ DERANI END OF CARTOUCHE
C DERANI LETTER NHANHOQ DERANI SYMBOL FOR NULL VARIABLE
D DERANI LETTER JUJUO
E DERANI LETTER CHICHAO
F  DERANI LETTER SHOSHIA

Use of the combining characters follows Unicode convention, with tone marks appearing immediately after the letter they attach to, and the diphthong mark appearing between the two letters it attaches to.

The encoding has separate characters for the start and end of a cartouche. This is because cartouches can span across more than one word, and so fonts need both ends delineated to know which letters they extend over.
