Gabyrian alphabet

The Gabyrian alphabet is the writing system of the Gabyrian language and various other languages spoken in the Free City of Gabyr, its colonies and sphere of influence. The writing system is halfway between an abjad and an abugida, but is closer to the earlier, as vowel signs are considered optional in most cases. Like in most abugidas, all proper letters are consonants, with vowels being written as diacritics underneath the consonantal letters - however, unlike in abugidas, there is no inherent vowel, and as a matter of fact (just like in all other impure abjads), these diacritics can be left out altogether, leaving vowels unwritten.
