When dealing with matters of international communication and/or correspondence, the Department of Outside Communications will translate Violetist English into Standard English, so that the words of the Order of Violet can be better understood by those who are not Violetists. The following table shows the differences between the Violetist alphabet and the standard Latin alphabet.
