The Haughòf language from David J. Peterson and Jessie Peterson's YouTube series LangTime Studio is written using an abugida.

Orthography

The script used to write Haughòf is an abugida, meaning that it has full glyphs representing consonants, which are modified with diacritics to indicate the quality of the preceding vowel. However, it represents the sounds as they were at an earlier point in the language's history, and due to sound changes, there is no longer a one-to-one correspondence between glyphs and phonemes. In other words, the script displays a certain degree of orthographic depth. The consonant glyphs are also modified with diacritics to show which of the three types of consonant mutations they have undergone, if any.
