An Adobe document on how the many consonants and few vowels of North
Caucasian languages are represented in Cyrillic writing.
http://titus.uni-frankfurt.de/didact/caucasus/kaukschr.pdf
This does not show Latin script when used for Chechen, and minor languages
like Bats (a NC Caucasian language written in Georgian script) are not
shown; neither is the infamous Ubykh. And notice that TETRAGRAPH used for a
certain phoneme in Kabardian!
Comments? Any ideas that might relate to conlangs, especially those with
large phonologies?
