- The tloko script is logosyllabic combining about X logograms (which represent whole words) and 150 syllabograms (which represent syllables). About 300 glyphs were commonly used.
- Writing direction: vertical from top to bottom and from left to right.
- Tloko is a mixed system like Japanese or Mayan, consisting of logograms and featural syllabic glyphs.
- Unlike Mayan glyphs which are logograms complemented by a set of syllabic glyphs, Tloko is primarily a syllabary complemented by logograms.
Featural Syllabary
- The basic consonant glyphs were directly inspired by Hangul.
consonants
- Each consonant has three forms. The form used depends on the the vowel added to form the syllable glyph.
- (V = null consonant)
vowels
An example of p with all vowel elements.
- The vowels elements are shown here with the null consonant glyph.
- (-C = null vowel, or final consonant)
