Moya
Moya is an abjad, or abugida used to represent the Kala language.
Notable features
- Moya is written vertically, in columns running from left to right.
- The word 'moya' not only refers to the script but also means "to write, character, letter" in Kala.
- Moya contains 14 consonant syllables, two vowel markers and ten vowel diacritics.

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 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.
