Orthography

Nordsippisk uses the Latin alphabet with þ and ð, but does not use the native letters:

c q x y

The vowel letters are:

a e i o u

Canonical spelling is intended to expose pronunciation and morphology rather than preserve historical spelling accidents.

General rules:

• written consonants are pronounced;
• no native consonant is silent;
• fixed digraphs represent defined consonant units;
• broad Germanic consonant clusters are allowed;
• vowel length is predictable from spelling;
• stress is predictable;
• affixes do not rewrite roots;
• diphthongs are absent unless deliberately introduced later.

ASCII fallback

Canonical Nordsippisk uses þ and ð. Plain-ASCII writing may use:

• th for þ
• dh for ð

These are practical fallbacks rather than alternate canonical spellings.
