Orthography

As well as the syllabary for most written use, there are also special-use syllabaries. One of these encodes more redundancy for use with noisy channels. The other is a non-visual written code for blind and other visually impaired users.

The Lulani syllabary was developed as a featural script, with similar sounds having similar symbols.

It is written in horizontal rows, right-to-left, and top-to-bottom.
