Foorptint and Uknownic runes, bereft of character ranting. Unknownic is obviously a stand in for the English alphabet, but Footprint Runes are not a clear cut swap. Certain letters either don't exist or have to use other letters instead (Such as the letter c having to be used in place of k and x, and the silent letter h not existing in footprint at all). For particular sounds in words this does mean that certain footprint runes have to be combined together (c and u to make q, for example). Furthermore, the Footprint writing system also features heavy use of contractions and does not use double letters; this results in a written language that is somewhat context heavy. The footprint rune system is heavily based on the English alphabet and grammar structure, but there are enough differences from Pokémon developing their own written system off of it that for a first time viewer it can seem unrecognizable.
