Encyclopedia > Gujarati alphabet

The Gujarati script, which like all Nagari writing systems is strictly speaking an abugida rather than an alphabet, is used to write the Gujarati language and resembles Devanagari script without the line. A few letters are different, such as e (when not preceded by a consonant), l, and j. Also its numerical digits are different from their Devanagari counterparts.

Encyclopedia: Alphabet (5970 words)
An alphabet is a complete standardized set of letters — basic written symbols — each of which roughly represents a phoneme of a spoken language, either as it exists now or as it may have been in the past.
The Hawaiian alphabet is sometimes claimed to be as small, but it actually consists of 13 letters (which counts the ʻokina, which represents a consonant) and a diacritic to indicate long vowels.
In a perfectly phonological alphabet, the phonemes and letters would correspond perfectly in two directions: a writer could predict the spelling of a word given its pronunciation, and a speaker could predict the pronunciation of a word given its spelling.
