====Composed graphemes==== | |||
Tolsian orthography is fairly transparent though there is not always a one to one correspondance between graphemes and phonemes. Some phonemes are not represented in the alphabet above : | Tolsian orthography is fairly transparent though there is not always a one to one correspondance between graphemes and phonemes.

However, another Latin transliteration has been designed so as to be more phonemic and easier to write on a computer, and is getting more and more popular : | However, another Latin transliteration has been designed so as to be more phonemic and easier to write on a computer, and is getting more and more popular : | ||
