Difference between revisions of "Middle Olgish language"

Prior to Fádin’s day, the most widely used writing system is the [[Old Olgish alphabet]], which more directly corresponds to the [[Old Olgish runes]]. Considered a mere style variant rather than an independent script, it is used alongside Lécaronian writing for centuries, only gradually falling in disfavour for its more cumbersome letter shapes. It remains in sporadic use until the [[Late Imperial Era]], particularly in the context of inscriptions, dedications, and other short texts meant to evoke the [[Lonsorigi#Book of Belkondíl|age of Olgish heroes]].
