> Intro > The Vulcan Alphabet (Zukitan)

> The Vulcan Alphabet (Zukitan)
There are 3 ways to memorize the Vulcan alphabet.

1) Using your native language mnemonics, English: A-Z

2) Nuhm-torektra (letter system, VLI). The following letters are listed in learning order, each letter has it’s own symbol in vulcan handwriting, type-font, and ancient-calligraphy. One difference from English is that Y is never a vowel, and each letter is pronounced, even if multiple vowels connect.
S T P K R L A Sh O U D V Kh E H G Ch I N Zh M Y F Z Th W B


S sa, T tan, P tapan, K ko, R rata, L la, A asal, Sh shai, O ozhika, U um, D dif, V vanu, Kh khaf, E ‘es, H ha, G gen, Ch sochya, I itar, N nala, Zh zherka, M malat, Y yen, F tafar, Z zun, Th thes, W wak, B buhfik.


Can you write a message using just letters?


There are many letter clusters in vuhlkansu, some that aren’t typical of English, but each letter is pronounced. There are no silent letters in modern-vulcan. Many human languages have sounds not used in English, and despite not being listed in vuhlkansu, those types of enunciation are merely considered different accents of the standard alphabet, thus there is no sounds vuhlkans can’t pronounce after proper instruction and practice.


3) The Korsaya systems, Traditional Vulcan Calligraphy (Vanu-Tanaf-Kitaun) & Standard Vulcan Script (Gotavlu-Zukitan) & Vulcan Handwriting (El’ru-Kitaun): This phonetic-clarified system and available font download has some compatibility with single letter pairing to the English keyboard, but for full adaptive text generation a vulcan interface is required.
