From FrathWiki
The Sanle Logographs are used to write Sanle, and are the ancestor of many of the other writing systems of South Odirá.

Proto-Sanle
The oldest form of the logographs is known as Proto-Sanle, and are preserved in only a few ancient collums. It was highly pictographic, and what little has been found suggests considerable local variation.
Picture Script
The so-called picture script was a standardized descendant of Proto-Sanle. It remained highly pictographic. The Oppai syllabry was derived from this stage. The script gradually became more stylized, and multi-part characters began to replace some simple characters
Classical Script
By around the time of the Isokhkik Dynasty, the script began to assume the classical, highly-stylized, complex form. This is the script that later spread throughout South Odirá.
New Script
The New Script was a short-lived attempt to simplify the script. Although it has not survived to the present day intact, it has given rise to the Sanle Sound-Letters, a phonetic script used in dictionaries to indicate pronunciation.
