<disappointed> Too bad, it's not like my Itakian script. Well, I'm not really disappointed, since I designed the Itakian script as a kind of "inverse Devanagari" especially to ensure that this script would be completely unique! :)) I don't think there is any natural script that uses the same system, and I don't know any conlanger ever making such a script.
