Kamiya
Amal is written with an adaptation of the Perso-Arabic script, called kamiya ("writing"). It is used as an alphabet, with the exception that vowels are marked as diacritics within words, and only as full letters when they begin, or end, a word. There are 22 characters used, including vowel markings and the ligature "la".
Consonants
As the chart indicates, all but the dal, ra, and wa have initial, medial, and final forms. The qupa is used to represent the glottal stop /ʔ/ or /q/ in loanwords. The wa and yad are also used to represent vowels. See below.
