Developed specifically for his early form of Middle Olgish and popularized through his translation of the Lonsorigi, [[Fádin’s Calligraphy]] is the script most commonly used in writing formal Middle Olgish, while the simplified [[Lécaronian alphabet]] based thereof is the most widely seen in informal and utility writing. Both systems retain many Early Middle and even [[Old Olgish]] contrast eliminated in spoken Middle Olgish, leaving many written Middle Olgish forms unpredictable from their spoken counterparts and leading to a great variety in spellings, particularly among lesser-educated writers. | |||
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]]. | |||
