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 c. 1400 BC until the adoption of the Iberic script after the 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.
