Aymara Syllabics was invented by Nima Farid in June 2021. It is a way to write Aymara, which is spoken mainly in Bolivia and Peru, with Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, a writing system used to write some of the indigenous languages of Canada, such as Cree, Ojibwe and Inuktitut.
Aymara Syllabics is known in Aymara as ᐊᐃᒪᖞᓇ ᐊᖝ ᕋᕤ ᕆᕪᕋ (aymarana aru qallu qillqa - "Aymara syllable alphabet"), or ᐊᐃᒪᖞ ᐊᒐᑲᐦᐊ (Aymara Achakaja - "Aymara ABCs").
The script includes some additional characters that are not originally from Aymara, namely the characters "G" and "D". These are to be used for loanwords from Spanish, as they are quite common in Ayamra.
Diacritics are used to indicate whether a consonant is to be pronounced aspirited or with a glottal pause. a backslash diacritic is used to indicate the former, and a circle to indicate the latter.
