[edit] 18 Alphabets

http://tabish.freeshell.org/eeyek/history.html describes Meitei Mayek script as having "18 alphabets":

According to the very few Puyas that survived, such as, Wakoklon Thilel Salai Singkak, Wakoklol Thilel Salai Amailon, Meetei Mayek comprised of 18 alphabets.

The problem is that the link is in ==External links==. So then that means the link should be accurate. So, DOES Meitei Mayek have 18 alphabets? Or is it just one abugida?68.148.164.166 (talk) 12:12, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

It seems to me what is really meant is '18 characters', as Meitei Mayek originally consisted of 18 characters. We might give the source the benefit of the doubt, and consider the mistake to be a matter of bad translation or limited proficiency of English, rather than of actual incompetence.
