The Shavian alphabet was developed as an alternate writing system for English in the 20th century. It is mostly phonemic, which means each symbol represents exactly one sound: consonant, vowel, or diphthong (a combination of two vowels). There are also a handful of symbols that represent combinations of sounds; most of these are a vowel followed by -r. In this puzzle, you must decode 5 geographic place names written in Shavian script! Are you up for the challenge?
HOW IT WORKS:
PART 1: Guess the countries of the world that fit each given clue. When you guess a country, its Shavian spelling will be revealed.
PART 2: Use the Shavian spellings to deduce which sound each character represents. Then, use those sounds to decode the geographic places and features in the final column!
NOTE: Some of the characters in Part 2 do not appear in any of the country names from Part 1. There is enough information provided to complete the puzzle.
