Nasqi Syllabary

I've been playing around with the syllabary idea (actually an abugida, I think). This is the current version:

  • 16 basic symbols by themselves,

  • 16 basic symbols + 2 diacritics,

  • 4 additional symbols in lieu of basic symbols + 3rd diacritic

  • punctuation (word separator, sentence terminator, perhaps notations for extra emphasis (on a particular word), whispering, shouting etc.)

The basic symbols encode consonant + high/low vowel, the diacritics are added for front vowel or back (rounded) vowel.

There are some things that need to be greatly improved if I actually want to use this.
