King Njoya's script

A, ka, u, ku…

The first sixteen letters of the syllabary.

The syllabary does not write single sounds but syllables. Here are the first sixteen letters — the ones that give the script its name.

ꚠa
ꚡka
ꚢu
ꚣku
ꚤee
ꚥree
ꚦtae
ꚧo
ꚨnyi
ꚩi
ꚪla
ꚫpa
ꚬrii
ꚭriee
ꚮleeee
ꚯmeeee

✍️ Two diacritics complete the syllabary (꛰ koqndon and ꛱ tukwentis); they refine the vowel or the tone.
