Orthography

Until the Doccábh Reforms, Dröövache Parutschan was largely either unwritten or used ad-hoc orthographies of the Dhimze script. Tschintierst politician NAME NAMESON published a book in YEAR detailing an early unified Parutschan orthography, which was adopted by the provisional government during the reforms. Reactions were mixed: a unified orthography was considered insufficient to handle the differences between the different Parutschan dialects, and the Tschintierst origin of the script was controversial to many writers of the time.
