Former orthographies

Ꞛ Ɑ Ꞝ Ꞟ
Ꞛ Ɑ Ꞝ Ꞟ

In the older orthographies, notably back in the Baroque and Rococo, special symbols were used for Å, Ä, Ö and Ü. Those symbols later fell into disuse after the more wide spread of the typewriter, which did not include such symbols. Similar thing happened around the same time in neighboring languages, specifically the Louzen language.

The changes were:

• Ꞛ ꞛ → Ä ä (Gadori Ae → A-umlaut)
• Ɑ ɑ → Å å (Latin alpha → A-ring)
• Ꞝ ꞝ → Ö ö (Gadori Oe → O-umlaut)
• Ꞟ ꞟ → Ü ü (Gadori Ue → U-umlaut)

Digraph orthography

Back in the middle ages, the Gadori language used a digraph (polygraph) orthography. Some notable examples include:

• Ae (or lignature Æ) for present-day Ä
• Ao (or lignature Ꜵ) for present-day Å
• Oe (or lignature Œ) for present-day Ö
• Ue (or lignature ) for present-day Ü
• Tsch for present-day Ƈ
• Th for present-day Ħ
• Ch for present-day Ȝ
• lj for present-day miniscule form ɭ
• Ng for present-day Ŋ
• rr for present-day miniscule form ꭈ
• Sz (at the time written as ſʒ), which evolved into ẞ
• Sch for present-day Ʃ

Many of those symbols fell into disuse, with shifts, that are no longer used, including:

• Æ æ → Ꞛ ꞛ
• Ꜵ ꜵ → Ɑ ɑ
• Œ œ → Ꞝ ꞝ
• ᵫ → Ꞟ ꞟ
