| Moya is an abugida, or abjad used to represent the [[:Category:Kala|Kala]] language.
| |
|
| |
| == Notable features ==
| |
|
| |
| * Moya is written vertically, in columns running from left to right, when necessary, or for aesthetic reasons it can be written horizontally.
| |
| * The word '''moya''' not only refers to the script but also means "to write, character, letter" in [[:Category:Kala|Kala]].
| |
| * Moya contains 14 consonant syllables, two vowel markers and ten vowel diacritics.
| |
|
| |
| == Moya Consonants, or Syllables ==

| |
|
| |
| * Looking closely, you will notice that the symbols are arranged by phonetic relation, making '''Moya''' semi-featural.
| |
|
| |
| == Vowels (Diacritics) ==
| |
|
| |
| * The vowels vary in direction between the two modes, vertical ('''ukaha''') and horizontal ('''kalai''').
| |
| * The '''ukaha''' mode vowels are turned 90° from their position in the '''kalai''' mode.

|
| |
| == Notes ==
| |
|
| |
| * Full vowel indication (vocalization) can be added, by means of vowel diacritics, but this is only done to eliminate confusion.
| |
| * The script can also be written horizontally, but this is only done to save space.
| |
| * There is very little punctuation used in [[:Category:Kala|Kala]], pauses, stops and questions are understood through the use of context and particles.
| |
| * Most often the vowels are not marked, the single diagonal mark is used to show that a vowel begins or ends the word, and is also used to connect graphemes that otherwise would not connect based on the normal methods of connecting.

| * The '''ka''' syllable with all possible vowel combinations and permutations.
| |
| * Whenever a word ends in a vowel the '''pekoli''' (tail-mark) is present and will 'carry' the final vowel.
| |
| * If the consonant is labialized or palatalized those '''pehim''' (little marks) will be marked on the consonant.
| |
| :*Note the '''kyao''' & '''kuai''' syllables.
