Common Syllabics
Common Syllabics was created by Jonathon Grimes during the early 1990s
to write the main language used in a role playing game: Common. Jonathon
modelled Common Syllabics on the Cree syllabary
and on the Devanagari alphabet.
Notable features
- Written from left to right in horizontal lines
- Diacritics are added to the basic consonant symbols
to indicate different vowel sounds.
