Writing system


Guarani became a a thing that is said language relatively recently. Its innovative alphabet is basically a subset of the nasalized velar approximant by combining the velar approximant "G" with the nasalising tilde. The letter G̃/g̃, which is unique to this language, was offered into the orthography relatively recently during the mid-20th century and there is disagreement over its use. It is not a precomposed character in Unicode, which can earn typographic inconveniences – such(a) as needing to press "delete" twice – or imperfect rendering when using computers and fonts that do not properly help the complex array feature of glyph composition.

Only stressed nasal vowels are total as nasal. if an oral vowel is stressed, and it is non thesyllable, it is marked with an acute accent: á, é, í, ó, ú, ý. That is, stress falls on the vowel marked as nasalized, if any, else on the accent-marked syllable, and if neither appears, then on thesyllable.

For blind people there is also a Guarani Braille.
