Batak script

[edit]

I object VERY strongly to your moving of this article from its commonly-known English name to "Surat Batak" in which "surat" is (one must assume) just a word for alphabet or script. Please do not do this. I also object to what you have been doing to other scripts, and I will revert them and take this up with the wider community if necessary. Thank you. -- Evertype· 18:41, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

bi, bo, bu

[edit]

I do not understand what you write as from where you mention "bi". Bi is made by adding a ° to the syllab (always bottom right for all these "anak surat", children of script). What you write on "bang" is more or less correct. You add something above the syllab indeed, but that is jus t a simple -. I miss "bo" (adding a x) and "bu" (adding a >).

The scripts mentioned are derivied from Indic script and behave like an Indic script.

"An alphabet is a standard set of letters (basic written symbols or graphemes) that is used to write one or more languages based upon the general principle that the letters represent phonemes (basic significant sounds) of the spoken language."

"An abugida /ˌɑːbʊˈɡiːdə/ (from Ge'ez: አቡጊዳ ’abugida), or alphasyllabary, also known as avugida, is a segmental writing system in which consonant–vowel sequences are written as a unit: each unit is based on a consonant letter, and vowel notation is secondary."
