I have a question regarding diacriticals in Talossan.
In German, all diacriticals, the umlaut (äöü) and eszett (ß) have alternative orthographies if you do not have a computer availiable to type them, ae, oe, ue, and ss, respectively.
Does Talossan have a similar system?? If not, is one in the process of being created??

We'd have to come up with an alternative that doesn't conflict with Talossan's many diphthongs, which could be tough.

Well, the diacriticals do not have digraph representations, but the Talossan eszett is replaceable by the digraph "ss". Interestingly, though, this is a one-way-only replacement; not all "ss" instances can be represented by the eszett. For example, Talossa is always Talossa, and never Taloßa.

Huh, this certainly makes such a measure much more complicated.
Well thanks for answering my question!
