Linguo Orthography

Linguo orthography covers the spelling and punctuation of the Linguo language.

Alphabet
The letters ⟨q⟩, ⟨w⟩, ⟨x⟩, and ⟨y⟩ are rarely used, and in fact appear in no native words.

Diacritics
Diaeresis or tréma (ä, ë, ï, ö, ü):     indicates that the vowel on which it has been placed is to be pronounced seperatly from the previous one. 

Punctuation
If a double letter would appear, due to an affix being added, a compound word being formed, or some other reason, both are written.

If two different vowel sounds would appear next to each other, without a consonant in between them, the first letter of the second one takes on a tréma.

If the same vowel would appear twice in a row, due to an ending being added to a root, instead the vowels are seperated by an l. For example, gracilis is correct, as opposed to graciïs, gracis or grac'is, because the root is graci-.
