The '''Vektranamic alphabet''' is the script used for writing the [[Vektranamic language]]. It was adapted from the Greek alphabet and augmented by letters borrowed from hieroglyphs. It is the first script used for any of the [[Terranilic languages]]. It was first used by the Vektranamic people {{circa|1400 BC}} until the adoption of the [[Iberic script]] after the [[Romanyan Empire|Romanyan conquest of Terranihil]]. The alphabet was also used to write the sacred X texts and classical philosophy of that era. It is used today for religious purposes. Its development and evolution is split into two periods: Classical Vektranamic (1400-800 BC) and Late Vektranamic (800 BC-200 AD). Modern usage of Vektranamic is that of the late period.
