The Brahmi script is an abugida, meaning it combines the features of both alphabets and syllabic scripts. It consists of a set of consonantal characters, each of which represents a syllable ending with the inherent vowel "a." Diacritical marks are used to denote other vowels or consonant-vowel combinations. The script comprises 41 basic consonants, 13 independent vowels, and various diacritical marks. Its left-to-right directionality sets it apart from older, right-to-left scripts, such as Aramaic.
