Orthography

Orthography is the set of conventions for writing a language. It includes norms of spelling, hyphenation, capitalization, word breaks, emphasis and punctuation.

In Orish, the orthography is mainly based upon the orthography in other latin languages, but also has a strong principle of coordination between the spelling and the pronunciation.

Alphabet
In Orish, the alphabet is meant to be built so that it can represent all phonemes in Orish. The phonemes were chosen before the alphabet, and the alphabet is based upon the International Phonetic Alphabet thanks to its ability to represent all speech sounds in writing, except for the letter Y that in a direct borrowing from the International Phonetic Alphabet it would be J. In Orish the method of representing stress is different from in the International Phonetic Alphabet too, while in the International Phonetic Alphabet it's represented by a high or low vertical line before the first sound in the syllable, in Orish it's represented by a circumflex or a caron above the vowel.

Punctuation Marks
In Orish, most punctuation marks are the same as in other latin languages, and they have the same roles. But there is one more punctuation mark that is borrowed from Japanese that has a role of marking a word as a foreign name so that it will be clear that it shouldn't be pronounced by the spelling calld anti-phonetic brackets.
