Kelun/Syllabaries

The Kelun syllabaries (Kelun: Kệlunṭụ́r "Kelun writing" or Kệlungìzṭụ́r "Kelun language writing") are the main writing system of the Kelun language. They consist of 144 symbols, each representing one of the possible morae in the Archaic Kelun language.

The script is traditionally written horizontally, left-to-right, and ordered from top to bottom. However, due to Chinese influence, texts written vertically, up-to-down, and ordered from right to left, appeared in -700 and became more common until around -300, the cutoff point for Kelun texts.

Around the year -1200, 5 diacritics appeared, which are placed on any of the 4 sides of the symbols and represent various innovations of Classical Kelun that were not found in Archaic Kelun.
