Ucrean is traditionally written in an abjad, one derived from the variety of Draconic script used to write Classical Netherese several centuries past. This writing system has not been used excessively for record-keeping, finding most application in runes, sigils, [[:w:Tamga|tamgas]], and other symbolism while most Ucrean societies prefer to keep a robust oral tradition, but nevertheless forms an important part of the cultural identity of the Ucrean orcs. | Ucrean is traditionally written in an abjad, one derived from the variety of Draconic script used to write Classical Netherese several centuries past.

While first & foremost an abjad, the Ucrean script can also be used as a limited logography à la [[:w:Ideographic rune|ideographic runes]], in that each letter can also be used in isolation to represent the concept(s) associated with their name. This rarely causes confusion given that only rarely will any Ucrean words be normally represented by a single consonant, but on that off chance, some scribes prefer to distinguish between the two by placing a tilde or [[:w:Titlo|titlo]] | While first & foremost an abjad, the Ucrean script can also be used as a limited logography à la [[:w:Ideographic rune|ideographic runes]], in that each letter can also be used in isolation to represent the concept(s) associated with their name.
