+==Orthography==
+The Asaari natively use the [[w:Vai syllabary|Vai syllabary]] to write amongst themselves. This modified syllabary is called the '''Asaari abugida'''.
+The [[w:abugida|abugida]] symbols are composed of one onset consonant and one vowel. Vowels carrying different tones are perceived as proper vowels and do thus have their own symbols. There are a few gaps in the syllabary, since some combinations are not possible in the language, or have been lost.
