Alphabet
The alphabet is based on the Latin alphabet (which was brought to the planet by aliens who've also at least seen Earth), and consists of 27 letters: aⱥbcdefghiíjlmnŋoøprṛsʃtuúv

There are three digraphs which make different sounds, but are not considered separate letters: gh (/ɣ~x/), rh (/ɾ̩/), and sh (/z/). Aside from this, spelling is entirely phonemic.
The following are not considered separate letters: a o o u o u ė ı ā ō (a and o have plus signs over them; o and u have circles over them; o and u have slashed circles over them). Ā is silent; all other letter variations are pronounced the same as the basic letter. These variants are used to indicate which vowels change in different forms of the word. ı is used in certain endings, in function words and interjections, and in the name of the letter i; ā is only used in pronouns; ė and ō are only used in forms of words containing i and ā. In all-caps text, often the basic form of these letters are used instead; when this is done, ā is simply omitted (rather than being written as A).
When using a limited character set (e.g., ASCII), the letters in the second column of the table above should be used and the basic form of letters is used as for all-caps text. If this is done, the digraph sh should be replaced with z to avoid confusion with ʃ. ao/ⱥ, ng/ŋ, and úa/ø are still potentially ambiguous. When using Unicode, combining X above (a̽ o̽) may be used instead of a combining plus sign above (which Unicode does not seem to support). For slashed-circle above, a combination acute accent and ring above can be used, but this might not display correctly in applications that display Unicode correctly.
