Basic Giak Script

The following table contains the letters used commonly in Desert Giak. All Giak words can be spelled with these letters.

Note that the symbol for 'm' is unique to Desert Giak. It is unknown what the equivalent in Darkland Giak is.

The use of Giak script is straightforward. Words are spelled letter for letter the same as they are using the Latin characters. Make sure, however, to use the appropriate characters for double letter combinations (i.e. 'aa', 'or' and 'sh').

• = Noza
• = Mugtaz
• = Ketki
