Shorthand uses simplified symbols and brief forms to represent sounds and groups of letters to write more quickly. Consonants are arranged in pairs according to similarity of sound like K and G, with differences in length to distinguish them. Vowels are often omitted as they are not pronounced. Practice is needed to write the symbols fluently and correctly form letters like K, G, R and L on the baseline.
