The language is maintained by the central organ, named the Institute for literary Utochise language (Utochise: Úſtav pro ſpiſovný Útočſký gazyk), which maintains both the orthographic and grammatical rules and controls, if they are properly taught in schools.
Long and rounded S and Š
S s ſ
Š š ſ̌
The orthography uses both long and rounded S letters as a miniscule.
The rules on writing those are:
- Long S (ſ) (or ſ̌) is written, if it is on the beginning or in the middle of a syllable
- Rounded S (s) (or š) is written on the end of a syllable or if they act as a syllabic consonant, or is silent
Both rounded S (s) & long S (ſ), if capitalizated, are written as a regular S
Example: NOM Koſt → GEN Kosti (Bone)
Accute U and breve O
Ú ú ; Ŏ ŏ
The orthography uses both accute and ringed U letters as a miniscule.
The rules on writing those are:
- Accute U (ú) is written in interjections and collocated words (if the ú would stand first before the Collocation)
- Breve O (ŏ) is written in all other cases, originally denoting a vowel shift from /ɔː/→/uː/
Breve O (ŏ), if capitalizated, is written as a capitalized version "Ŏ"
Example: Dŏl → Dolŏ (Mine → Below), Účel → Bezúčelný (Sense → Nonsensical)
Ringed A
Å å
The letter Å is a letter that denotes a vowel shift from /a/ to /ɔ/ in a diphthong /ɔ͡u/, donoted as -åu-.
However, if the letter o is on the end of one syllable and u is on the beginning of other, Å is not used.
Example: Poučit - Påučet (To enlighten - To lend)
Rules on I/J and Ү/У
I i ; J j
Y y; Ý ý
Writing of I/J or Y/Ý is determined based on a letter prior to the symbol.
| Letters | Name | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| D, H, Ȟ, K, N, R, T | Tvrdé (hard) | I (short) / J (long) |
| C, Č, Ď, G, Ň, Ř, Š, Ť, Ž | Měkké (soft) | Y (short) / Ý (long) |
| B, F, L, M, P, S, W, Z | Obogetné (ambiguous) | Based on the Selected words |
| Ǧ, Q, V, X | Negasné (unclear) | — |
Bit - Bjt - Byt - Být (Computer bit - To beat - Flat - To be)

MANIFESTO FOR GLOBAL PEACE AND COOPERATION AMONG NATIONS | MANIFEST SVĚTOVÉHO MJRU A SPOLUPRÁCE MEZI NÁRODY |
| 1 | We, the nations of Anteria, hereby stand together, working together, united and willing to cooperate to reach global peace. We have seen enough deaths, enough suffering, enough pain and enough ruined lives. We came together with a hope and a ideal, that there are things that should be done, there are ways better than war, there is a better way to work with the world. | My, národy Antérie, nynj ſtogjme poſpolně, pracugjcj poſpolně, gednotnj a oȟotnj ſpolupracowat k doſaženj ſwětowého mjru. Widěli jſme přjliž ſmrtj, přjliž utrpenj, přjliž bolesti a přjliž zničenýȟ žiwotŏ. My se ſhromáždili s wíråu a naděgj, že gſåu wěci, které by měly být dělané, gſåu možnosti lepſ̌j než wálka, exiſtuge lepſ̌j cesta ke ſpolupráci ſe ſwětem. |
| 2 | Therefore, we, form a Anterian World Assembly as equals. Every voice would be heard in this assembly and every voice would be respected. Everyone has right to be heard and everyone has right to be listened to. We came together, not because we are all the same, but because we are different, diverse, and only thing uniting us is our desire to solve problems peacefully. | A proto, my wytwářjme Antérigſké ſvětové ſhromážděnj gako rovnj. Každý hlas bude v tomto ſhromážděnj ſlyſ̌et a každý hlas bude wyſlyſ̌en. Každý má práwo být ſlyſ̌en a každý má práwo, aby byl wyſlyſ̌en. My ſe ſetkali ne protože gſme všiniȟni ſtegnj, ale protože gſme rŏznj, rozličnj, a gediná věc, která nás pogj, ge naše tåuha vyřeſ̌it problémy mjrumilovně. |
