The Limli language has 16 phonemes.
As the Limlis had no writing when discovered by the space travelers, a written alphabet was created by the anthropologists who were on the voyage. As they were Korean, they used the Hangul.
The letters are ordered according to their Manner of Articulation.
The consonants are <m> ㅁ; <n> ㄴ; <ŋ> ㅋ; <p> ㅂ; <t> ㅌ; <k> ㄱ; <ʻ> ㄲ; <f> ㅍ; <h> ㅎ; <w> and <l> ㄹ.
The vowel inventory consists of <i>ㅣ; <e> ㅓ; <a> ㅏ; <o> ㅗ ; and <u> ㅜ.
