Not directly related to the crash, but I have a question about Telugu and similar scripts: How do their speakers think about the structure of the script? Do they consider each vowel and consonant a separate "thing" that just happens to get written as a complex grapheme, or is the grapheme the unit you think about and it just happens to be made up of smaller parts? I.e https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telugu_script#Consonant_Conjun...

Also, do you learn the large number of graphemes separately? Or are they the "obvious" way to write the consonant and vowel? Or is there a set of rules you learn?
