Vowels, when occurring at the beginning of words, are placed on top of ''alif'' (ا). This ''alif'' actually has a ''hamzah'' on it; however, this ''hamzah'' is often left unwritten. However, /(ʔ)aː/ is written with ''maddah'' on ''alif'' (آ). <!--Long vowels are written as they would be in the middle of the word, except that ''waaw'' (و), and <i>yaa'</i> (ي) would be preceded by ''alif'' instead of another consonant.The exception to this convention is long vowel [aa], where similar to Arabic, ''[[w:Arabic_diacritics#Maddah|alif maddah]]'' (آ) is used.--> | |||

Like in Arabic, ''sukūn'' (◌ْ) and ''shaddah'' (◌ّ) are used to indicate an unvowelled consonant and a geminate consonant respectively. They can also be used on the consonant letter of long vowels; however, they are more often dropped.--> | |||
===Adapted for other languages=== | |||
====Oromo==== | |||
Similar to Somali, but with the following changes: | |||
*ڀ for /pʼ/. | |||
*ڇ or ڃ for /tʃʼ/. | |||
*ط for /tʼ/ in native Oromo words. | |||
*ڠ for /ɡ/ instead of ڭ (though ڭ can alternatively be used). | |||
*ق for /kʼ/ in native Oromo words. | |||
*There is no ݦ. | |||
<!-- | |||
====Afar==== | |||
Similar to Somali. | |||
--> | |||
====Amharic and Tigrigna==== | |||
Similar to Oromo, with the following changes: | |||
*پ is exclusively used for /p/. | |||
** /β/ is represented identically to /v/: ڤ. | |||
*ژ for /ʒ/. | |||
*ڞ for /(t)sʼ/. | |||
*There is no ڟ. <!--Alternatively, it can be used for /tʃʼ/ instead of ڇ or ڃ.--> | |||
*څ for /xʼ/ (exclusive to Tigrigna). | |||
*Vowels: | |||
**/e/ and /o/ are written as Somali /eː/ and /oː/ respectively. | |||
**/ə/ is written as Somali /a/. | |||
**/a/ is written as Somali /aː/ (though it may be written as /a/ after guttural consonants). | |||
**/i/ and /u/ are written as Somali /i(ː)/ and /u(ː)/ respectively. They are most often written as the long variants except in Arabic loanwords. | |||
**/ɨ/ is written as Af Maay /ə/. | |||
**Labialized consonants are written either as a combination of consinant plus /w/, or with a ''ḍammah'' as follows (with /kʷ/ as an example): | |||

|} | |||
====Additional letters for other languages spoken in Ethiopia==== | |||
When needed, the following additional letters are used: | |||
*ݝ for /ŋ/. | |||
*ڮ for /kʼ/ when distinguished from /q/. | |||
*Gurage palatalized velars:<!-- are represented with ۦ (small <i>yaa'</i>) under the letter.--> | |||
**ك࣮ for /kʲ/. | |||
**عٔ for /ɡʲ/. | |||
**ٯٔ for /kʲʼ/. | |||
**حٔ for /xʲ/. | |||
*Retroflex: | |||
**ٿ for /ʈʂ/. | |||
**ڟ for /ʈʂʼ/ (instead of /ɖ/). | |||
**ݜ for /ʂ/. | |||
**ڙ for /ʐ/. | |||
*Implosives: | |||
**ڀ for /ɓ/ (instead of /pʼ/). | |||
**ڎ for /ɗ/. | |||
==Deslavic== | |||
Basically, a Slavic language that lost all (or most) distinctive Slavic features. | |||
Note: It's not that these features did not develop, but rather they did develop and then were lost. | |||
====Phonology==== | |||
Palatalization: | |||
*Palatalized consonants are lost, either merging with their plain counterparts or become a different consonant altogether. | |||
*When a root would have alterations between palatalized and non-palatalized consonants, one of these variants is selected and extended to all forms. | |||
