Chakma alphabet[চাকমা বর্ণমালা]

The Chakma alphabet called Ojhapath, Aaojhapath, is an abugida used for the Chakma language and which is being adapted for the Tanchangya language.The forms of the letters are similar to Burmese script.চাকমা বর্ণমালাকে অজাপথ,আজাপথ বলে ঢাকা হয় যযা উবোগিড হিসেবে ব্যাবহার হয়।চাকমা বর্ণমালা অনেকটা বার্মিজ বর্ণমালার অনুরুপ।


Vowels

Four independent vowels exist: 𑄃 a, 𑄄 i, 𑄅 u, and 𑄆 e. Other vowels in initial position are formed by adding the vowel sign to 𑄃 a, as in 𑄃𑄩 ī, 𑄃𑄫 ū, ai, 𑄃𑄰 oi. Some modern writers are generalizing this spelling in 𑄃𑄨 i, 𑄃𑄪 u, and 𑄬𑄃 e.
Chakma vowel signs with the letter 𑄇 ka are given below:
𑄇 Ka = 𑄇 Ka
𑄇𑄧 Ka = 𑄇 Kā + 𑄧 - a (11127)
𑄇𑄨 Ki = 𑄇 Kā + 𑄨 - i (11128)
𑄇𑄩 Kī = 𑄇 Kā + 𑄩 - ī (11129)
𑄇𑄪 Ku = 𑄇 Kā + 𑄪 - u (1112A)
𑄇𑄫 Kū = 𑄇 Kā + 𑄫 - ū (1112B)
𑄬𑄇 Ke = 𑄇 Kā + 𑄬 - e (1112C)
𑄇𑄭 Kāi = 𑄇 Kā + 𑄭 - āi (1112D)
𑄇𑄮 Ko = 𑄇 Kā + 𑄮 - o (1112E)
𑄇𑄯 Kau = 𑄇 Kā + 𑄯 - au (1112F)
𑄇𑄰 Koi = 𑄇 Kā + 𑄰 - oi (11130)
𑄇𑄀 Kaṃ = 𑄇 Kā + 𑄀 - ṃ (11100)
𑄇𑄁 Kaṃ = 𑄇 Kā + 𑄁 - ṃ (11101)
𑄇𑄂 Kaḥ = 𑄇 Kā + 𑄂 - ḥ (11102)
𑄇𑄴 K = 𑄇 Kā + 𑄴 - MAAYYAA (11134)
One of the interesting features of Chakma writing is that candrabindu (cānaphudā) can be used together with anusvara (ekaphudā) and visarga (dviphudā):
𑄃𑄳𑄂𑄀 Aḥṃ = 𑄃 ā + 𑄂 h + 𑄀ṃ
𑄃𑄳𑄁𑄀 Aṃṃ = 𑄃 ā + 𑄁 ṃ + 𑄀ṃ
𑄅𑄳𑄁𑄀 Uṃṃ = 𑄅 u + 𑄁 ṃ + 𑄀ṃ
𑄟𑄀𑄪 Muṃ = 𑄟 mā + 𑄪 u + 𑄀ṃ
