Tamiki

Tamiki was created by Damian Izrullah Bin Abdullah to write Tamiki, Adaki and Yusrian-Animan, which are constructed languages he is also creating. Within the world he is building, the script was created by King Anin Asiki to increase literacy among his subjects because the old script was logographic and made no sense to the lower classes.

Direction of writing: left to right in horizontal lines (modern), right to left in vertical columns (traditional)
Used to write: Tamiki, Adaki and Yusrian-Animan
