There are many latin letters that don't exist in this alphabet,for example,q is actually a strong r,while r is a soft one;c has the spanish ch sound,and ñ (you can only use it if you have a spanish keyboard,sorry) is replaced by the sh sound;there are also 3 extra vowels:y (long i/russian й),w (even more closed spanish u,or woo if you speak english) and a schwa (you can use it by typing the letter h);also,every vowels has its accented version (á,é,í,ý,ó,ú,w and h can be used by typing ü and ö respectively)
All letters are lowercase. Some letters represent different sounds.

This is an abugida for my conlang Tanume. The vowel marks don't display correctly in the preview but they go above the consonant letters. The writing system can go in any direction, as long as the open side of the square is facing the correct direction. The characters with angle brackets are numbers.
