LL THE LANGUAGES OF BEROERT share the same alphabet, which has survived almost unchanged from the days of the Empire.  The alphabet is designed to be written with a pen, but is used in essentially the same form for carved inscriptions.  It consists of 42 characters, 24 representing consonantal sounds and 18 representing vowel sounds.  The grid below shows the traditional form of each letter and the sound it represents.

This grid is the traditional way of depicting the alphabet, with six rows of alternating consonants and vowels, and a seventh wholly of consonants.  Each of the first six rows can be read as a word, and the first of these, bagevo, is the name given to the entire alphabet.

There are three elements of punctuation: the comma, the period or full stop (which is also used at the start of a piece of writing), and the space between words, which is marked with a dot.
