	Abugida - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An abugida, alphasyllabary, or syllabics is a writing system composed of signs (graphemes) denoting consonants with an inherent following vowel, which are consistently modified with extensions or diacritical marks to indicate other vowels, or, in some cases, the lack of a vowel.
		An abugida is to be contrasted with a syllabary, where symbols with similar sounds look nothing like one another, but also to be contrasted with an alphabet proper, where separate symbols are used to denote the consonants and the vowels.
		The Pollard script, which was based on shorthand, also uses diacritics for vowels; the placements of the vowel relative to the consonant indicates tone.

		Bangla is written in the Bangla alphasyllabary (also called syllabic alphabet or abugida), a Brahmic script similar to the Devanagari alphasyllabary used for Hindi, Sanskrit, and many other Indic languages.
		The Bangla alphasyllabary is a cursive script with 12 vowel characters and 52 consonant characters.
		Meithei (Manipuri), a Sino-Tibetan language used in the Indian state of Manipur, was written in the Bangla alphasyllabary for centuries, until the 1980s, when Meetei Mayek (the Meithei alphasyllabary) returned to daily usage.

	Kannada script - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The script has 49 characters in its alphasyllabary and is phonemic.
		The number of written symbols, however, is far more than the 49 characters in the alphasyllabary, because different characters can be combined to form compound characters (ottaksharas).
		Each written symbol in the Kannada script corresponds with one syllable, as opposed to one phoneme in languages like English.

		An alphasyllabary or abugida a term coined by Peter T Daniels...
		An "alphasyllabary" or "abugida" (a term coined by Peter T. Daniels Peter T. Daniels) is a script script whose basic signs denote consonants with an inherent vowel and where consistent modifications of the basic sign indicate other following vowels than the inherent one.
		As the term "alphasyllabary" suggests, they are considered an intermediate step in the evolution evolution of alphabet alphabets from syllabaries syllabaries.

	Monotype: Non Latin Font
		Ethiopic script is often described as a syllabary, an alphasyllabary or as a syllabic alphabet.
		Written from left to right, Ethiopic script consists primarily of around 30 consonants, each of which is modified by combining with a set of seven vowels, also known as 'orders'.
		Incidentally, one commonly cited defect of Ethiopic script is its inability to represent a sole consonant without an adjunct vowel.

	Marathi language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marathi is written in the Devanagari script, an alphasyllabary or abugida consisting of 16 vowel letters and 36 consonant letters making a total of 52 letters.
		Like other alphasyllabaries, Devanagari writes out syllables by adding vowel diacritics to consonant bases.
		The table below includes all the vowel symbols used in Marathi, along with a transliteration of each sound into the Roman alphabet and IPA.

	RE: Script vs Writing System
		At least Patrick made "featural" a qualification on "syllabary" rather than having it be its own thing contrasting with syllabary, alphabet, etc., which IMO is a step forward.
		I think that label is appropriate because the structural elements are alphabetic, and (when not written linearly) they are arranged structurally into units corresponding to syllables.
		(But then, Peter Daniels flatly rejects the notion of alphasyllabary, apparently because he is unable to step beyond the taxonomy devised by his teacher, Gelb.) I don't think I would have applied "featural" in the case of Ethiopic or CAS, though.

	The Hindu : Karnataka / Bangalore News : Teach children to speak languages first: expert
		This, Dr. Karanth says, ought to be exploited to make the child conversant in English in the early years, so that when the time comes to become literate in that language, the child is ready to associate the sound and the spelling.
		Karanth who is writing a paper on "The Kaagunita of Kannada —; Learning to read and write an Indian Alphasyllabary" for a collection in "Handbook of Orthography," however, points out that there has been ample documentation of reading difficulties in children learning to read and write Kannada as well.
		In a 1993 study of poor and good readers in Kannada from urban and rural schools in and near Mysore, 14 dyslexic children were found among 550, she revealed.

	. . . muttered the ogre » para-grammatogenesis
		Tolkien invented at least three scripts: Sarati, an alphasyllabary; cirth, a full alphabet; and tengwar, used both as an alphasyllabary (in the Ring Verse) and as a full alphabet (on the West Gate of Moria).
		But in human history such scripts have been invented less often than syllabaries, in which no two of the symbols for ti ta ki ka are similar.
		A syllabary works best for a language in which each syllable consists of a single consonant (or none) followed by a single vowel, as in many Polynesian languages.

		I realized how syllables, rather than words, are combined which shows the reader when the inherent vowel is pronounced or not.
		There were also some peculiarities about how vowel combinations are made - a difficult task with an alphasyllabary.
		For the actual wording of the scroll, I made a compromise between the period examples and SCA custom.

		They are therefore sometimes referred to as logosyllabic.
		Indian languages and Ethiopian languages have a type of alphabet called an abugida or alphasyllabary.
		These are sometimes mistaken for syllabaries, but unlike in syllabaries, all syllables starting with the same consonant are based on the same symbol, and generally more than one symbol is needed to represent a syllable.

		Out of the seven non-logographic systems presented above, five are syllabaries, one is an alphasyllabary and one is an alphabet.
		It also provided the ability to mark tone simply by the location of the final symbol, not by adding another symbol all together.

		Siddham is an abugida or alphasyllabary rather than an alphabet because each character indicates a syllable.
		If no other mark occurs then the short 'a' is assumed.
