Irxti Modern Alphabet (I.M.A.)

Simon Halfdan Hvilshøj Andersen invented the Irxti Modern Alphabet for an alien civilization which will appear in a short Sci-Fi novel he's currently writing. It's used to write Mixil, Oxtelans and Utshien. These three languages are interrelated as the two latter are descendants from the Mixil.

Notable features

The I.M.A. is written in horizontal lines from left to right.
It is used almost in the same way than the Roman Alphabet with English.
The capital letters are used as the first letter of proper names, and more generally, after punctuation (including the coma).

Irxti numerals

Irxti numerals The I.M.A. has only eight digits as the Irxti numbering system is octal. Digits are grouped in fours and these groups are separated by a space. The integer part and decimal part of a number is separated by a coma. The Irxti digits are written with the least significant digit on the left; the opposite to the standard Western way.

Example:
(1,457.5)₁₀ = (2,661.4)₈ = 4,1662
(45,154)₁₀ = (130,142)₈ = 2410 13
