Fecharese script

The Fecharese script is a writing system used for Fecharese, Nberr and Winqomtaj. The letters for the consonants are composed of parts showing the articulation, making it a featural writing system. The script is written from top to bottom, left to right in a cursive style. The Fecharese script was derived from the Doqemba script.

Overview


Each Fecharese consonant is composed of three sections: cuswewer (manner of articulation), cusworoño (place of articulation) and, optionally, cilowswe (modifier). Vowels (atañegqo) are connected to the previous consonant.

Vowels
The Fecharese alphabet has five vowels letters, e a o i u. Nberr and Winqomtaj added the letters á and a to represent the phonemes /ɜ/ and /æ/ in each language respectively.
