Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics

Syllabic script devised by missionary James Evans for the Cree people in the 1840s. Features a unique system where the rotation of each symbol indicates the vowel. Subsequently adopted by 20+ Canadian indigenous languages including Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and Naskapi. One of Nunavut Territory's official scripts, it appears on Canadian banknotes. It has become a key tool in the indigenous language preservation movement.
