Don't know where online, but, in case it might be useful, I'm pretty sure that's in the 3e FRCS too. I wrote a whole letter to my younger sister using Espruar! Ha...I think she was mad though because I didn't translate/transcribe it for her. "That's the fun!" I told her. Kids these days! :P

I don't know about anything online, but I've got an old Dwarves Deep supplement book that translates Dethek to English with the alphabet, numbers, common races (at the time) and some common markings.

Let me know if you want me to scan and post/send.

-Some of it, anyway. Not all of it.

I think this Zip file may help. It's for the Espruar and Dethek TrueType font files.

If you can find it, the old Gold Box games (Pools of Radiance and Curse of the Azure Bonds) had translation wheels that allowed you to translate either Espruar or Dethek to English. You can download and make it work from this site.

-Also note that, when it reaches a final state, Elves of Faerûn will have in it's language section, "translations" from written Espruar to 'Common' (English).
