Atemayar Qelisayér   
Atemayar alphabet (Atemayar Qelisayér)

The Atemayar alphabet was created by Simon Halfdan Hvilshøj
Andersen during a boring Latin classes at school.
He wanted a language that sounded Arabic, thus the large amount of
words with Q and guttural sounds.

The alphabet is used to write the Qelisan language, Felayir
Qelisayér
, which was invented by Simon for use in his
sci-fi novels. Although the plotlines are located on several
planets among several alien civilizations and cultures, most of the
action takes place on Jeernervaniaa, a planet inhabited by humans.

Internal history

The Jeernervaniaans are humans abducted from earth twenty thousand
years ago. On their planet, on the other side of the Galaxy, they
created civilizations like on Earth. Today Jeernervaniaa (pronounced
Djenærvanja) is mostly like Earth, but with a much more advanced
civilization.

The Atemayar is not the only alphabet used by the Jeernervaniaans,
as the mostly widely used writing system is the Jeernervaniaan
Standard Extended Alphabet (JESA)
.
