Naeso Syllabary

Our native script is a syllabary, written from left to right. Each syllable has its own glyph. An early vote determined that we would use MalfermitaKodo's draft.

• Syllables starting with n
• Syllables starting with v - vin
• Syllables starting with s
• Syllables starting with f - fin
• Syllables starting with z
• Syllables starting with a vowel

Syllabary proposals

As this draft is largely incomplete, there are many 'letters' lacking from our list. Below are proposals for the missing 'letter' bases.

Note: all of the following proposals are BASES for the syllabary, and they lack their accompanying vowel-and-or noun markers. Please keep this in mind when voting. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET, but remember to think of the additions which will come afterward.
