Writing System
Anissian is written verticaly, up to down, and left to right. All words are written attached together, symbols noted next to letters to indicate punctuation. Generally very small, to fit the most words on the page.
A dot in between two letters seperate two words. A line next to a letter means it's a word on its own. A dot at the bottom of the line means the word or sentence is over. If there's more than one sentence in the text, end of sentence is indicated by a horizontal slash. If there's no dot nor slash, the word continues on the next line.
