Editing Buhid script (section)

== Structure ==
The Buhid script has 18 independent characters; 15 are consonants and 3 vowels. As an abugida, there are additional diacritic vowels. Consonants have an inherent /a/ vowel. The other two vowels are indicated by a diacritic above (for /i/) or below (for /u/) the consonant. Depending on the consonant, ligatures are formed, changing the shape of the consonant-vowel combination.<ref name="UniStd">{{cite web|url=https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode13.0.0/ch17.pdf|title=Chapter 17: Indonesia and Oceania|publisher=Unicode Consortium|date=March 2020}}</ref> Vowels at the beginning of syllables are represented by their own, independent characters. Syllables ending in a consonant are written without the final consonant.<ref>{{cite web|first=Michael|last=Everson|author-link=Michael Everson|title=N1933 Revised proposal for encoding the Philippine scripts in the UCS|url=https://www.unicode.org/L2/L1999/n1933.pdf|date=1998-11-23}}</ref>
