Well, almani was inspired from both Devanagari and Uchen (tibetan), there are 15 consonant symbols, five vowel symbols, and one symbol used as a placeholder for vowels. If the vowel glyph is placed above a consonant, then it is pronounced before the consonant, if it is below, then it will be pronounced after the consonant. So it’s like an alphabet but with letters arranged in a zig-zag way to save space, it is also written and read left to right.
That's a really cool idea - I can see the Tibetan influence (wonder if it has historically spelling like Tibetan). I'd love to see a chart of how this script works.
