The Verethian script (/vəˈɹi:θiən, -ˈɹɛ-/; Dirhassian: áhośu örezí, Hashdezi: áhośu oereðig), also called Verethian common alphabet in the Oldirian Union, is a writing system used for most languages across Etzavaz. It is the designated national script in all Verethian and Ćrinat-speaking countries in Etzavaz, as well as several countries across the world as a result of colonialism.

The Verethian script evolved from the earlier Sarsahat script around the 33rd century CY, which itself had been developed from the Arthan script.

1. Usage of o as a consonant is archaic, as per the 4596 reforms.
2. The letters ṣ, ẓ, ċ and x were phased out in the 4596 reforms, as their pronounciations had merged with s, z, c and x respectively.
