 That is, unlike a syllabary (which has unitary symbols for consonants followed by vowels (CV), with maybe a vowelless consonant following), Khom script divides the syllable as C-VC, rather than CV-C (Sidwell 2008).This is unique, not readily accommodated in any of the existing typologies of scripts.The script was invented by Ong Kommadam, a leader in the rebellion against the French colonizers.
