I want people to speak and teach Daza Ke'mo.
Dashi is the Name for the Daza writting system. Dashi is written right to left. It is an Abjad, which means that the vowels
are not typically written (except for dictionaries and children's books). This picture says what I wrote about for an example.

Dashi is an interesting writting system, much like Arabic. The main difference
is that Dashi does not have different forms of the symbols based on where in the word they are.
For example in Arabic "Farsi" and "Kapf" would have different forms of the letter 'f'.
Also Daza has 18 consonants but they are paired up based on vocalization, aspiration and position in the mouth.
The 10th consonant symbol is a Glottal stop written in latin script like '.
A glottal stop is much like the pause in uh-oh. In the Northern Dialect of Daza the glottal stop is often replaced with the õ / kh sound
(a hard 'h', like the sound of clearing one's throat). So in the South one says "Sakhu Na to yalu'le" and the north "Sa'u na to yalu'le".
