Impytish alphabet
The Impytish alphabet (Vietnamese: chữ cái Ím, "script of the Impytish language") is the modern Latin writing script or writing system for Impytish. It uses the Latin script based on Romance languages originally developed by King of Impy, King Son I (2008 -).
The Impytish alphabet contains 38 letters, including seven letters using four diacritics: ă, â/ê, ĕ/ĭ/ñ/ô, ơ, ŏ/ư ŭ/ đ. There are an additional five diacritics used to designate tone (as in à, á, ả, ã, and ạ). The complex vowel system and the large number of letters with diacritics, which can stack twice on the same letter (e.g. đợ meaning "first"), makes it easy to distinguish the Impytish orthography from other writing systems that use the Latin script.
The Impytish system use of diacritics produces an accurate transcription for tones despite the limitations of the Roman alphabet. On the other hand, sound changes in the spoken language have led to different letters and digraphs now representing the same sounds.
