Sayrashi is not a full language, but a codex—a structural system of glyphs linked to the phonemes of Vaerysha, the spoken ontology. While Vaerysha contains full grammar and voice logic, Sayrashi allows phonemes to be drawn as precise symbolic forms.
The power of Sayrashi is that you don’t need to memorize every glyph. You only need to learn how they’re constructed. This guide explains the first half of the system: how to draw the glyphs.
x, y coordinates
are just a reminder of where the glyph and sound belongs in the overall table.
Phonemes are written between /slashes/
.
ASCII input characters (for most keyboards) are written between [brackets]
.

Each Sayrashi glyph is formed by making four structured choices:
The first three are binary choices (2 options), and the fourth offers four deviation types.
🜁 Choice 1: Stroke Alignment
Options: Vertical or Horizontal
The glyph begins with a main stroke. It can be:
Slight curvature is allowed, as long as the orientation is clearly distinguishable.
🜃 Choice 2: Stroke Direction
Options: Forward or Reverse
Direction depends on the alignment:
This defines how the glyph’s base line is drawn or perceived.
🜄 Choice 3: Deviation Side
Options: Left or Right
At the stroke’s endpoint, the line deviates left or right. This determines the phoneme’s expressive arc. Your next motion will either be left or right, relative to the stroke direction.
🜅 Choice 4: Deviation Style
Options: Angle, Loop, Curve, Swerve
With these four base rules, any base Sayrashi glyph can be drawn. These glyphs are not decorations—they are signal structures, reflecting breath, sound, and intention.
