Alphabet
Camalic mostly uses the Talmic alphabet (as in Bhadhagha), but there's a rarely used native writing system called Camalabhadra. It's a Brahmic-style abugida with separate letters for unaspirated and aspirated consonants.
Grammar
Very much like Bhadhagha
Mà lèidhamh prathama paridheona craobh abhisthàmaigh.
