Tikamuli "bhla"<\/p><\/div>\n

As I mentioned in the Jenticha<\/a> post, there is a language called Sunuwar which is spoken in both India and Nepal, and has been written in Jenticha in both Nepal and northern India.<\/p>\n

In 2005, Tikaram Mulicha developed the Tikamuli script as a competitor to Jenticha.<\/p>\n

Like Jenticha, it is an abugida with no single direct ancestor, but with similarities to many.\u00a0 Like Jenticha, it is an abugida. Like Jenticha, the glyph shapes look similar to some glyphs from other languages.\u00a0 For example, the Tikamuli “gha” looks a lot like the Limbu “tho”.\u00a0 Like Jenticha, Tikamuli has a diacritic for turning short vowels into long vowels.<\/p>\n

Unlike Jenticha, it does not represent killed consonants with consonant conjuncts, but only with a virama.\u00a0 Unlike Jenticha, and more like most other Indic scripts, Tikamuli has vowel diacritics instead of independent characters for vowels.<\/p>\n

There are also two diacritics for consonants, which is somewhat unusual.\u00a0 One is for converting an unaspirated consonant into an aspirated consonant.\u00a0 The other diacritic adds a “l” to a syllable.\u00a0 The glyph for this post, above, shows both combined: the left hand, tall part of the glyph is the “b”; the squarish hook to its right (the “first hump of the ‘m'”) is the aspirated sound to make “bh”; the curvy hook at the far right (the “second hump of the ‘m'”) is the “l”.<\/p>\n
