Every other writing system can also be used for writing Dama; however, the Latin alphabet is preferred. | Every other writing system can also be used for writing Dama; however, the Latin alphabet is preferred. | ||
== | Dama can also be written by using only the 10 numerical digits, as follows: | ||
:1 =I, i, e, j | |||
:2 =N, n | |||
:3 =M, m | |||
:4 =A, a | |||
:5 =S, s | |||
:6 =b, B | |||
:7 =T, t, d | |||
:8 =R, r | |||
:9 =g, G, k | |||
:0 =O, o, u, w. | |||
So the 10 digits are quite enough to write the 12 phonemes of Dama Diwan language. | |||
Such a small number of indispensable digits to represent Dama means we can use only those for Morse code, so if we symbolise a dot by “i” and a dash by “I”, the necessary Morse symbols (by order of brevity, the shorter for the more frequent) are: | |||
:i =0 =O, o, u, w. | |||
:I =1 =I, i, e, j | |||
:ii =4 =A, a | |||
:Ii =2 =N, n | |||
:iI =3 =M, m | |||
:II =8 =R, r | |||
:iii =7 =T, t, d | |||
:Iii =5 =S, s | |||
:iIi =9 =g, G, k | |||
:iiI =6 =b, B | |||
:(In Dama, the difference between i/e, u/o is not phonemic. J and W as phonemes are different, but Dama words only start with CONSONANTS (including j, w), and then there is always a vowel after each consonant with the exception of final n (which is better, but not strictly, to be pronounced as ŋ). Therefore, 14102 can only be jajon or jajun, both correct in Dama; and the same happens with all other Dama words: they can be rendered totally correctly by the use of only the 10 digits, that is with a pad of only 10 digits. The connection of the 10 digits to Latin letters is obvious, based on similarity of shape.) | |||
