That's so beautiful. I especially love how syllables are encoded as single symbols. Phonetic writing systems are amazing and this one is especially neat.
But... as a parent of a kid with dyslexia... I can't imagine teaching him this alphabet: he'd be shooting in the dark on vowel choices. After many months of deliberate effort, he can distinguish d/b from p/q but within those groups, he's completely lost. Sometimes, I've learned, beauty of symmetry comes at a cost.
One symbol im the title stands out: ᐦ appears to be missing from that chart -- any chance you know what's going on there?
I'm interested in learning Ojibwe and I've been planning to look into a tutor soon. If you don't mind me asking, how does your aunt teach? Does she work online or locally? Is she teaching only as a volunteer or professionally?
