Why does Henaudute use the Greek alphabet?

Ironically, convenience. The phonology was patterened after ancient Greek's (though the morphology is too different to really help recall it) and it just seemed easier to represent it that way. Plus, the aesthetics :p
There actually *is* a native abugida; it looks like ... [1] (old version)... but it's rather complicated, being written TTB, with lots of ligation involved, and I havn't designed a font for it yet. —Muke Tever | 07:46, 25 Jan 2005 (PST)
