Spoken Frethurn is flowing and lilted, sounding almost musical to a non-speaker. Most words have three or more syllables, with most consonants being separated by vowels. (I.e. it is rare to see multiple consonant sounds in a row.)

Frethurn is a logographic language – each character represents a word or phrase rather than an isolated sound. Small changes to the character can communicate things like tense, gender, and even social status of the writer.
