Vellara script or Vellara alphabet is one of the original Albanian alphabets, encountered for the first time in the early 19th century. It is named after the Greek doctor, lyricist and writer Ioannis Vilaras (Jan Vellarai in Albanian),[2] the author of a manuscript where this alphabet is documented for the first and so far the only time.[3][4]
