	Brahmic family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Brahmic family is a family of abugidas (writing systems) used in South Asia, Southeast Asia, Tibet, Mongolia, Manchuria, and to an extent, Korea.
		Brahmic scripts are descended from the Brāhmī script of ancient India, which according to one theory, descended from a Semitic script
		Many languages using Brahmic scripts are sometimes written in Latin script, primarily for the benefit of non-native speakers or for use in computer software without support for said scripts, but these practices have made little headway in South Asia itself.

	Brahmic family (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Brahmic scripts are ultimately descended from the script for ancient Sanskrit.
		The most prominent member of the family is Devanagari, which is used to write several languages in India, as well as Nepal, including both Indic languages and Dravidian languages.
		Burmese, Cambodian and Thai are also written in Brahmic scripts, though with considerable modification to suit their phonology.

	Abugida
		In many of the Brahmic scripts, a syllable beginning with a cluster is treated as a single character for purposes of vowel marking, so a vowel marker like à¤¿ ''-i,'' falling before the character it modifies, may appear several positions before the place where it is pronounced.
		In the family of abugidas known as Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, vowels are indicated by modification (rotation and reflection) of the akshara.
		For example, the Meroitic script of ancient Sudan did not indicate an inherent ''a'' (one symbol stood for both ''m'' and ''ma,'' for example), and is thus similar to Brahmic family abugidas.

	Abugida - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Some abugidas, notably the Brahmic scripts, are thought to have evolved from alphabetic abjad scripts.
		Some abugidas, especially those in the Brahmic family of scripts, feature a mark called a halant or (in Sanskrit) virama, which suppresses a character's inherent vowel, reducing it to a lone consonant.
		The largest single group of abugidas is the Brahmic family of scripts, however, which includes nearly all the scripts used in India and Southeast Asia.

	abugida Information Center - abugida
		An abugida or alphasyllabary is a writing system composed of signs (graphemes) denoting consonants with an inherent following vowel, which are consistently modified to indicate other vowels (or, in some cases, the lack of a vowel).
		In many of the Brahmic scripts, a syllable beginning with a cluster abugida is treated as a single character for purposes of vowel marking, so a vowel marker like ि-i, falling before the character it modifies, may appear several postions before the place where it is pronounced.
		The largest family of abugidas, however, is the Brahmic family of scripts, which includes nearly all the scripts used in India and Southeast Asia.

	Writing system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		All known abjads (except maybe Tifinagh) belong to the Semitic family of scripts, and derive from the original Northern Linear Abjad.
		The reason for this is that Semitic languages and the related Berber languages have a morphemic structure which makes the denotation of vowels redundant in most cases.
		Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics can be considered abugidas, although they are rarely thought of in those terms.
