Canadian Aboriginal syllabics are unique among [[abugida]] scripts in that the orientation of a symbol, rather than modifications of its shape or [[diacritic marks]], determines the [[vowel]] of a syllable. Each basic shape corresponds to a specific consonant sound; this is flipped or rotated to denote the accompanying vowel.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Online Cree Dictionary, Cree Language Resource Project, Maskwacis Plains Cree, Saskatchewan Cree, Woods Cree|url = http://www.creedictionary.com/syllabics/maskwacis.php|website = www.creedictionary.com|accessdate = 2015-12-06}}</ref>

Like the [[Latin alphabet]], syllabics are written from left to right, with each new line of writing directly under the previous one.
