			As you can see there is no Q, X, or Z. These letters were not used in normal Folk's Tongue words. Originally foreign words and names were adapted to the spelling rules of Folk's Tongue, and names like Xavier would be spelled ''Eksavier'' or ''Havier.'' In more modern times foreign spellings are becoming more accepted, and seeing names like Xavier, Jacqueline, or Zosia is becoming more common.

			Folk's Tongue is written is 3 different scripts. The Soft Language was originally written in the Elder Futhark script. It continues to be written in this script today for ceremonial and magical purposes because the Elder Futhark are considered to have very special qualities. When the language split into the separate dialects, it began to be written with the Latin letters. This continues to be the most common script used to write the Folk's Tongue on a day to day basis. This is also the script we conveniently use on his page. A third script was developed because the other scripts were seen to have some problems representing the full range of sounds in Folk's Tongue. This script is still very new, but there will be some other pages describing the other writing systems of Folk's Tongue. For now we will teach you how the Latin script is used to represent the sound of Folk's Tongue.
