Aoma uses quite phonemic script where graphemes correlate with phonemes. The system is more consistent with consonants since vowels can undergo various changes depending on the neighbouring vowels and consonants. Here are their graphemes:
Aoma uses quite phonemic script where graphemes correlate with phonemes. The system is more consistent with consonants since vowels can undergo various changes depending on the neighbouring vowels and consonants.  
 
===Consonants===
 
Consonants k, l, m, n, p, ɹ, r, s and t all have a geminated version which are mostly found in two-syllable verb infinite forms. The double-consonants have special marks in written Mihkanor so glottal stop is indicated by writing the consonants separately.  Notice: pp [p:ʰ], tt [tθ]
 
Romanization of some symbols: š/sh [ʃ], ng [ŋ] and ' [ʔ]. Notice that in the beginning of words C is [kh] while in the middle c is [sk], and beginning Z is [ʒ] while z is [z]. One r is pronounced as [ɺ], r'r [ɺ:], rr [r] and rrr [r:].
 
===Vowels===
 
Similarly to consonants, vowels have geminated forms marked with special graphemes so that glottal stop is indicated by writing the short graphemes separately. There is a glottal stop grapheme ' used for separating vowels, especially i, æ and œ which are often written over preceding consonants. There are also graphemes for vowel combinations occurring at the end of words but their pronounciation varies: ''aee'' [aɛ:]/[æeˑ], ''oee'' [oe:]/[œɛˑ] and ''uee'' [wɛ:]/[ʊe:]. Possible phonemes for single vowel graphemes:
*i: [i] [ɪ]
*i: [i] [ɪ]
*y: [y]
*y: [y]

*a: [a] [ɑ]
*a: [a] [ɑ]
*o: [o] [ɔ]
*o: [o] [ɔ]
===Script===


Hand-written Mihkanor script was developed in Eastern Sceptre from the Eastern Temple Marks of third era. Shinesharers, spreaders of the religion of Light, took the original marks to north where they were developed into Northern script (our Latin). Highly decorational [http://juhhmi.deviantart.com/art/Beginners-guide-to-Jauhmoe-348647904?q=gallery%3Ajuhhmi%2F42429210&qo=2 Jauhmø script] originates to fifth era, but is still in use mainly for formal documentation.
