Im Shaliloriyi is an alphabet created by David J. Peterson that is used to write the Ravkan language from the Netflix series Shadow and Bone.
Orthography
Im Shaliloriyi is an alphabet. As such, it features full characters for both consonants and vowels. It was designed based on an original prompt of "fantasy Cyrillic"[1]. Like in the Latin and Cyrillic scripts, there are lowercase and uppercase versions of each character, with most only differing in size, the general shape being the same for both.
Im Shaliloriyi has letters for palatalized consonants and for diphthongs. They all derive from ligatures of a vowel or consonant letter and a following i.
Modern Ravkan's spelling does not perfectly match its pronunciation because some voicing assimilations conditioned by affixes are not reflected in the spelling (for instance, zhelpka is spelt zhelbka, zhelbka, because it derives from zhelba) and because some of Old Ravkan's sounds merged with others or were lost (for example, da is spelt dagh with a silent gh, while gor is spelt ghor with a gh pronounced /g/ like a g). Furthermore, it does not indicate stressed syllables.
