Daeron tried making a writing system, but it wasn't very sophisticated, and it wasn't linguistically organized, like the Noldorin system is. In fact, it's very confusing and difficult to read because so many consonants are represented by the same syllables. The linguistically inclined Noldor got their hands on it and filled it out, making it mimic their own system a little. You'll notice that an extra branch is added for voiced letters, the symbols reversed for spirantization, or made symmetrical for nasalization and voicing. We'll be using it as the Noldor modified it, because it's less of a headache. There is one sound that might be missing. The Sindarin vowel /y/. There are two possibilities: it's on the chart as the letter "ü" (in the style of German orthography of the same sound) or the /y/ is just clumped together with the /i/. Whichever it is, we don't know.
Here are the letters, organized according to the Noldorin categories.
 t |  p |  c | |
 d |  b |  g |  gw |
 th |  f |  ch |  hw |
 dh |  v | ||
 n |  m |  w | |
 or  nd |  mb |  ng | |
 r |  rh |  l |  lh |
 or  s |  ss |  or  h |  "and" |
| Vowels | |||
 a |  e |  o |  u |
 á/â |  é/ê |  or  ó/ô |  ú/û |
 i |  or  y? | ||
We don't know if there are any punctuation marks, but there are no examples of them. We do know that spaces are put between words, but that's about it.

Mallath ú-thiliar,
