Kamiya
Kamiya (writing) is an alphabet developed to write Amal. It is based on the Arabic script. It is written right-to-left.
Full Alphabet
- qupa is used for the glottal stop, /ʔ/, but can be used for /q/ in names and toponyms
Vowel Marks
These vowel marks are used to indicate vowels within words. Note that /e/ has no mark and is the only vowel omitted when it occurs within a word.
shehet kaba - /ʃɛˌɦet kabˌa/ - MED-tree be.large-3s - That tree is large.
The top example is incorrect, and notice in the bottom example, the /a/ marked on the /k/ is the only mark used. The final /a/ on kaba ends the word, and therefore is written in full form.
