The Væyne Zaanics language is written with the Yesuþoh script, an alphabet with a variety of multigraphs and contextual variants. Yesuþoh is unicameral and written horizontally from left to right.
Importantly, the "light" vowels of Væyne Zaanics are æ, e, i and their long counterparts, while the "dark" ones are a, o, u and their long counterparts.
