Disadvantages of Tikamuli
|
All graphemes correspond with Devanagari, which can ease the adaptation of Nepali derivatives with characteristics unusual for Sunuwar.
|
As well as Devanagari, some graphemes that can be written as combinations when necessary do not exist in Sunuwar, like aspirated chha छ or gha घ.
|
Sentences look shorter and more compact, as it follows the rules of an abugida where the vowels do not take up a lot of space and are put above letters as diacritics.
|
Unnecessary clarifications could have been avoided in certain places. The existence of diacritics for exceptionally rare extra long vowels is followed by complete abscence of a nasalisation symbol.
|
It is overall more pleasant to look at, as survey results suggest. Compared to Jenticha, its graphemes are less blocky and look more like elegant handwriting.
|
The script itself looks massive, heavy and overly complicated to read and learn, accordingly, for those who have not interacted with abugidas.
|
Tikamuli also has a diacritic for the approximant /ɭ/.
|
When reading, it appears harder to distinguish it from the “tail” mark indicating aspiration.
