  • 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.
