Script Type	Alphabet
Description	Shukaraz is a true alphabet -- one glyph for each consonant and vowel. It has the outward appearance of an abugida in the style of Aramaic or Arabic, however. Another main difference from Arabic or Aramaic is that script direction is left to right, as we write in the Latin script. I have kept it simple, with diacritics only ensuring that certain letters aren't mistaken for others, as well as "additions" to the vowels (/e/, and /o/, which will be useful for a conlang if I use this script for one, to give it "flavor"). I feel it's also a little bit simpler to write and remember the individual letter forms because they do not radically change form medially as certain letters can in Arabic, for instance.
Influences	Arabic, Aramaic, Mandaic
