Khat Notation

This is the system by which all published works are made to include bills of sale and deeds. Being that it is only found in books and official documentation this is the leading cause of illiteracy among the masses. Since books tend to be very expensive the levels of illiteracy are noticeably higher in the poor communities. Its use as a common writing system stem from it's vast array of characters allowing for easy transliteration of many languages.
All vowels written in Khat notation are long. and in writing Æ is a modified A along with Th, Kh, Jh, Sh, Ch, and Gh which are modified T, K, J, S, and C. Though kh's existence implies k having had a prior sound no written works of it in a non modified form have been found. The C is a hard consonant and Y is always a consonant yeh sound. Several constancies exist throughout the language. Short vowels are notated with diacritics which display as small lines below, above, or to either side of the character preceding the sound. When a word is tied to another it utilizes the o diacritic represented by a horizontal line below the character. There is no word for to be instead it is identified by the e diacritic, notated by a vertical line on the left of the character.
The Khat numbering system utilizes a exponential counting system instead of the more prevalent base 10 system used today. It's numbers are written as a combination of dots and lines in a pentagonal shape with the dots representing the first set of 31 and the clockwise moving lines representing the numbers between 64 and 1023 It also includes outward and inward facing lines the symbols change after every sixth doubling.
