Abstract
This document specifies "proquints" (PRO-nounceable QUINT-uplets), a human-friendly encoding that maps binary data to pronounceable identifiers using fixed consonant-vowel patterns. The concept was originally described by Daniel Shawcross Wilkerson in 2009. This document formalizes the format for archival and reference.
