Zoitei Script

The Zoitei script's design takes most of its inspiration from the Hangul (xaiaangulc) and Devanagari (deyvynaagyri) alphabets (primarily for writing Korean and Hindi). Like Devanagari, it uses a cap line which the alpabet's characters descend from. The cap line is broken between words. Like in Hangul, the alphabet's characters are arranged in a square and contain consonant and vowel parts. One big difference is that Hangul characters are CVC, while Zoitei characters are CV (consonant-vowel).

The Zoitei script is written right-to-left, like Arabic. The consonants with no diacritics are the sonorants (m, n, q, l, c, r). The plosive diacritic turns it into a plosive (p, t, k, b, d, g), the unpalatalized diacritic into an unpalatalized fricative or stop (f, s, x, v, z, ň), and the palatalized diacritic into a palatalized fricative (þ, š, ł, w, ž, ř). Consonant clusters are read from right to left, and diphthongs are read from top to bottom.

Similar sounding vowels in the Zoitei script are written similarly. Front vowels are written with straight lines (like the unvoiced consonants), while back vowels are written with curved lines (like the voiced consonants).
