[edit] Abugida?
Based on what? The characters do NOT represent syllables, nor do the consonant signs inherently include a vowel. Thaana behaves like a typical abjad (makes sense, since it was derived from one) and should be designated as such. I'm changing it to "abjad". Bulbul 23:05, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Is thaana "Indic"?
Based on what I know, it seems Thaana is kind of a "variant" of Arabic. So, should that warning remain? Or is thaana kind of a "fusion" of Arabic and some Indic alphabet, despite being written right to left and "abjad" like Arabic is. The question is...does it have complex "composition" rules like Indic languages? ~Ra'akone 132.205.64.19 19:50, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
