Tarestian alphabet

The Tarestian alphabet (Tarestian: Akisime Tarestiëne) is a Latin-script alphabet used for writing the Tarestian language, consisting of 30 letters, seven of which (Ä, C̈, Ë, Ï, Ö, S̈, and Ü) have been modified from their Latin originals for the phonetic requirements of the language. This alphabet represents modern Tarestian pronunciation with a high degree of accuracy and specificity. Mandated in 1930 as part of a series of educational reforms made by the TPU, it is the current official alphabet and the latest in a series of distinct alphabets used in different eras.
The Tarestian alphabet has been the model for the official Latinisation of several Tarestic languages, like Slevonian, Gemerese, and Ceaschinian.
