Ji'Lako (fig. Sand Tongue) is the language spoken by the Mukasa peoples in the Salt Desert. It developed almost entirely in isolation from other languages, and thus is not mutually intelligible with anything.
Transliterating the Writing System
Forthcoming.

The word-joining glyph is represented with an apostrophe ('). The Ji'lako writing system has no formal sense of capitalization, though it is stylistically recommended when transliterating to capitalize proper nouns, names, and the beginnings of sentences. Punctuation, though also not part of Ji'lako, can be employed for clarity as one sees fit.
