| Vellicosian Alphabet | |

Time period | 1400's to present |
Parent systems | Latin alphabet

Sister systems | English alphabet |
The Vellicosian alphabet consists of 30 letters. Of these letters, 23 were directly-adopted from the Latin alphabet, 5 (Á, Ð, Í, Ó, and Ú) are modified Latin letters, and 2 (Þ and Ƿ) developed from the runic alphabet. The letters Q and X are not used at all, with the latter having formerly been used but dropped from the alphabet by the 17th-century. Much discourse has been had over the letter W, a debate over the use of which still rages today. Some scholars advocate its use, citing commonality with other Germanic languages, especially its sister language of English, as well as Ƿ's tendency to be mistaken for the letter P, especially by foreigners, whilst other scholars cite the puristic-nature of the Vellicosian language and standing language precedent, advocating to keep the runic-derived letter due to its tenure and unique nature.
