## Writing
I haven't completely fleshed this part out yet, but I want the writing system of
L'ewa to be an [abugida][abugida]. This is a kind of written script that has the
consonants make the larger shapes but the vowels are small diacritics over the
consonants. If the word creation process is done right, you can actually omit
the vowels entirely if they are not relevant.
[abugida]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abugida
I plan to have this script be written by hand with pencils/pen and typed into
computers, just like English. This script will also be a left-to-right script
like English.
