| | |
| == Writing the language ==
| |
| | |
| Mosici is written using the [[Nahan script]] (Mosici: {{nahan| }} {{ipa|[ãnaʀãːx ceɐ̯t͡s]}}), also known as the Póliah script (Mosici: {{nahan| }} {{ipa|[ãpuʎjaːx ceɐ̯t͡s]}}).
| |
| | |
| The letters are the following:
| |
| | |
| {|class=wikitable style="text-align: center;"
| |
| ! Letter !! Name !! Translitteration !! IPA Value
| |
| |-
| |
| | {{nahan|}} || {{nahan|}} || p || /p/

| |

| |
| |-
| |
| | {{nahan|}} || {{nahan|}} || h || ∅, lengthens a preceding vowel
| |

| |

| |
| |-
| |
| | {{nahan|}} || {{nahan|}} || c || /k/
| |
| |-
| |
| | {{nahan|}} || {{nahan|}}|| n || /n/, nasalises a previous vowel, not pronounced in codas
| |

| |

| |
| | |
| === Strappo ===
| |
| | |
| The Nahan script also uses a diacritic: the Strappo (Mosici: {{nahan|}} {{ipa|[ɕdʁapɔː]}}) that modifies the values of vowel letters. It is usually transliterated with an acute.

| |

| |
| | {{script|script=nahan|t=ó}} || /u/
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| === Vowel Coalescence ===
| |
| | |
| Vowel coalescence is a large sound change that affected Mosici’s vowel clusters after the fosilisation of spelling. Its understanding is therefore necesary to read Mosici words properly.
| |
| | |
| This table summarises the coalescence patterns:
| |
| * All values in IPA
| |
| * If the first vowel is nasal, no coalescence happen, instead the /n/ is pronounced
| |
| * If the second vowel is nasal, the resulting vowel is nasal
| |
| * Of any of the vowel is long, the resulting vowel is long
| |
| * Coalescence is applied left to right.
