"The ideograms was the original writing system of
Pelanda and was eventually superseded for daily
usage by the simply and more flexible Dara Happan
script. Nevertheless the ideograms were still used
in temple buildings because most people could not
read anyway, but could recognize the most important
(or perhaps most repeated) symbols of their own
important deities."

Tishamto and/or the Artmali might have had some sort of script but I don't think either the Doraddi or the Veldang would know it now.

Fonrit, Teleos (in the days of the Rainbow Fleet), the Masloi and perhaps the Keetelans.
