Description	This is the writing system used in the cloud 'kingdom' of Freedonia, that floats above the Mathasian mainland, drifting with the winds. It is written in several ways, the most common uses a CCVC syllable unit, where the second C is written with the subscript version of the appropriate consonant, but some people do not use subscripts at all. The vowels are written as diacritics above the consonant symbols. Note how the vowels are written ("inside" the consonant), when the consonant extends above the top of normal consonants like 't', 'n' and 'm'. Free vowels are written with the vowel carrier, the '-' symbol (the one that looks like 'I'). If a free vowel is long, this is not shown with the dash shown in the picture, but the 'I' character is drawn out below the baseline instead. (Some people use the vowel carrier for every vowel, making the system into a true alphabet, and others omit the vowels altogether, writing as if they were writing Arabic.). Ejectives may be shown with an apostrophe on the top right-hand side of the consonant (ejective subscripts may be formed in the same way, the apostrophe is then put like a comma at the baseline).
