En réponse à Joe :>Devanagari is a syllabary. An Abjad is one without vowels...No, Devanagari is an abugida, i.e. an alphabet where the consonant letters have a default vowel which can be overriden by vowel diacritics, and which typically renders consonant clusters through complex ligatures. This is quite different from a syllabary. Christophe Grandsire. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
