'''ToaqScript''', hereafter referred to as {{t|Hoelāı}}, is a writing system developed by Hoemai.
'''Hoelai''' (Toaq: '''{{t|mí Hỏelaı}}''', or in Hoelai, {{script|mPi EhNoyl}}) is a writing system for versions of Toaq prior to Delta developed by [[Hoemai]]. It was succeeded by [[Derani]].

Version 3 was published on the 31st of July 2022 on [https://toaqlanguage.wordpress.com/2022/07/31/hoelai-3-and-new-phonotactics/ The Toaq Blog].
 
There are now only two possible patterns a syllable can take:
# Consonant in the middle with vowel to the right, tone on top, and -q / -y below; or
# Consonant in the middle with diphthong to the left and tone on top
 
In addition, a bare consonant no longer implies there to be an “a” there.
 
Since these changes would make CVV(q) and CVF syllables impossible to write as one syllable, there is a shortcut form which is a ligature of {{script|q}} + a vowel. (See right "Shortcut vowel characters".)
 
===Zodiac mode===
 
'''Zodiac mode''' turns Hoelai into a syllabary by combining consonant and vowel characters. Below, the list of characters.
{|
|The order of the finals are:||-a, -u, -ı, -o, -e, -aı, -ao, -oı, -ou, -eı,<br>-aq, -uq, -ıq, -oq, -eq, -y

== Version 2 ==


This generation is only available as a [https://toaqlanguage.wordpress.com/2020/10/22/the-hoelai-writing-system-2nd-edition/ pilot demonstration article]. Since it hinges on a yet unimplemented phonology overhaul, it cannot yet be used in practice, nor has a font been made for it yet.

== The first generation ==
== Version 1 ==


Hoemai has shared a list of glyphs in a PDF. You can get it [[File:ToaqScript sheet.pdf|here]].
A Toaq syllable is analysed into four Hoelai parts:


A Toaq syllable is analysed into four Hoelai parts: 1. the consonant, which becomes the glyph in the middle; 2. the first phoneme in the nucleus, which is written right of the consonant (unless it is {{t|a}}, in which case it should be omitted); 3. the rest of the nucleus, written left of the consonant (optional); 4. the tone, together with the coda (presence/absence of {{t|-q}}), written above. (This part is empty for neutral tone syllables without {{t|-q}}.)
#The consonant, which becomes the glyph in the middle
#The first phoneme in the nucleus, which is written right of the consonant (unless it is {{t|a}}, in which case it should be omitted)
#The rest of the nucleus, written left of the consonant (optional)
#The tone, together with the coda (presence/absence of {{t|-q}}), written above. (This part is empty for neutral tone syllables without {{t|-q}}.)


Note that if the nucleus ends in a diphthong – one of {{t|-aı, -ao, -oı, -eı}} – it is treated as a (3). Moreover, if this diphthong is the whole nucleus, (2) is omitted in favour of it. For example, {{t|maı}} is understood to be <code>m--ai</code>, not <code>m-a-i</code>; it would be written with the {{t|-aı}} glyph from (3).

This generation of Hoelaı was designed for an old version of the Toaq phonology, and as such retains the now-deprecated high ({{tone|1}}) and falling-rising ({{tone|3old}}) tones, and this documentation will refer to those tones as they were at the time of release. To use the script for current Toaq, the {{tone|1}} diacritics are never written, and {{tone|3old}} diacritics are used for {{tone|3}}.

Automated ways of converting plain Toaq into ToaqScript input will be made publicly available soon. Currently, [[nuogai.md|the Discord bot]] can generate an image of the script for you: use <code>%hoe</code> with plain Toaq as input.

==== Mỉao’s modified font ====
 
Hoemaı’s version above does not include characters for some letters. Mỉao has created a version [[Media:ToaqScript (with y glyph).ttf|here]] which has more characters.
 
Capital “C” is used for “y” and capital “J” is used for “nh”.
 
Unfortunately, some characters (e.g. “Z”) just can’t be added because in v1, those characters correspond to different sounds.
