Ayvarith

Ayvarith is the creation of TJ, who invented it to write his conlang, Ayvarith, which is a combination and Arabic, Aramaic and Hebrew.

Notable features

Type of writing system: abjad
Writing direction: right to left in horizontal lines. All the diacritics are placed above the letters.
The text can be written without diacritics. Diacritics are used only when emphasis is required.
Words are usually separated by spaces, but a dot between words can be used. The usual punctuation marks are not changed, but when used in the middle of the sentence they themselves are considered as a stop or a word separator.

Ayvarith alphabet

Consonants

There are two sets of consonants, the basic ones, and the ones used for loan or foreign words and names (in blue).

Vowels

Notes

There are short and long vowels. Short vowels are made by placing diacritics above the letters while long vowels are made by other letters combined with the consonants.
By default, the "gavva" inherits the vowel "a" when it comes alone above a letter. To make other combinations, the other diacritics are placed beside the gavva.

by you I judge
by you I command
by you I give (reward)
by you I punish
