Miru’ na’ Tayal is a syllabic alphabet created for writing the Atayal Language, a Formosan language spoken in Taiwan. The diamond-shaped letter design is based off of traditional Atayal patterns and decorations. It is a syllabic alphabet, so each consonant has an inherent vowel /ə/. The consonants are written as the left side of a diamond, while the non-inherent vowels are indicated by adding a right side of a diamond to the consonant base. The inherent vowel is always dropped at the end of words. The script is written left to right in horizontal lines, and words are separated by small, diamond-like dots.
