Sarati alphabet

Origin

J.R.R. Tolkien created many languages throughout his life. He wrote
in one of his letters that the tales of Middle-earth (The Hobbit, The
Lord of the Rings and The Silmarilion) grew from these languages, rather
than the languages being created for use in the stories.

Tolkien also created a number of different alphabets to write his languages
– the Sarati alphabet only appears in a small number of inscriptions
in the tales of Middle-earth.

Notable features

Written from left to right in vertical columns.
Vowel diacritics are written to left or right of the consonant letter
– if they appear on the left, they come before the consonant, if they
appear on the right, they come after the consonant. If they appear
at the beginning of a word they are written with a special vowel holder.
