|
| |
| {{PAGENAME}} uses its own native alphabet.
| |
|
| |
| The phonetic value of any consonant letter is the first consonant in its name - so that <ʕ> for example sounds like 'ts' (i.e. /tsʰ/) and <ɧ> sounds like 'x' (i.e. /ɮ/)
| |
|
| |
| The letters themselves are derived from pictograms.

| |
| Punctuation is as follows:
| |
|
| |
| * [ ] = quotation marks
| |
| * . = space/word boundary marker
| |
| * ɭ = period
| |
| * ɭɭ = comma
| |
| * ʕ̰ = semicolon
| |
| * ʕ = colon
| |
| * The punctuation mark ˈ is placed before sentences and clauses, and ˌ before proper names.
