The '''Matari script''' was a writing system used to note the [[Matari language]] from 2400 BNB until the decline of the language in the early 900s BNB. It is an impure [[Wikipedia:abjad|abjad]], that is, it mainly records consonants, only noting vowels when they are long, using their corresponding matres lectionis (consonant characters assigned to vowels). It is the progenitor of the [[Vedan script]], the direct ancestor of many scripts around the southern and western [[Orddonach]].
