Dwemeris was the main language and writing system of the Dwemer.Dwarven Writings The language and writing system was based on Aldmeris.Nchunak's Fire and Faith Very little was known about Dwemeris, and was largely untranslatable, with the exception of a few specific words and passages, though the alphabet was known.Dialogue with Hasphat Antabolis Many Dwemer documents were also written in Aldmeris, which made it easier for experts of Aldmeris to translate Dwemer documents and texts. Dialogue with Baladas Demnevanni Many examples of its writing system can be found in various books, and even some books were found that were written by the Dwemer themselves. Five notable books written in Dwemeris was The Egg of Time, Divine Metaphysics, Chronicles of Nchuleft, Nchunak's Fire and Faith, and Hanging Gardens.
==Phonology==
The Dwemeris language utilized many runes that look like z's and d's in its form, and the writing system was written as the Dwemer's own form of runes and glyphs.
===Dwemeris script/alphabet===
The Dwemeris script for letters primarily uses runes. The runes for the letters J, P, X, and Z are not known, but the rest of the alphabet is known (see below).
===Pronunciation===
There is little scholarly research into the pronunciation of words in Dwemeris. One student, Amadri Drevin, produced a guide for non-Dwemer to attempt to imitate the language around 2E 582. Their method involved taking two deep breaths interrupted by a drink of liquor, placing several small pebbles in their mouth, and attempting to recite Dwemer words normally. However, they also noted that speakers should attempt to leave out certain vowels and add additional consonants, emphasizing the third or fourth syllable in any given word, even lacking one.How to Pronounce Dwemer Words
