WalterWhiteOnWiki: it's a shame this wiki doesn't have notes/references like wikipedia does, i wasn't sure how to put a meta note that the text doesn't actually appears as such in-universe.

The '''Rossan script''' is the formal writing system of [[La Rossa]]. The script is believed to have developed before 2000 TT, and is likely descended from the ancient Rossan script dating as least as far back as the [[Minerian Stone]]. While the old style of writing saw an angular form of writing, with exclusively straight lines and sharp edges (both arising from the difficulty of etching messages into stone), the modern Rossan script is rounded in form. Traditionally written with paper and quill, inventions likely dating to the same time period, the Rossan language has for centuries been written exclusively in cursive, with the invention of the [[printing press]] eventually leading to a standardized print, a blend of the cursive paper- and angular stone-writing.

The Rossan script takes the form of an alphabet, with each symbol (or on occasion, a combination of symbols) corresponding to a certain sound. The Rossan alphabet consists of 20 standard letters, along with the symbol "X", present only in the word [[Dux]]. The cursive script makes no differentiation between capitalized and non-capitalized lettering. However, the first letter of titles, names, locations and other proper nouns is traditionally written enlarged as a show of emphasis and respect. To denote numbers, the Rossan language utilizes four-digit glyphs known as the [[Rossan Numerals]].
