In this new experimental orthography for Urdu, the main goal is to eliminate homographs by representing all vowels unambiguously. This can be achieved by the mandatory application of actually existent systems of optional diacritics in the real Urdu orthography, and by introducing some new rules as well. The notes regarding new rules/systems of notation are shown in greentext. The rest are marked with a (•).

•Mandatorily indicate the short vowels 'i' (/J/) and 'u' (/ʊ/) after a consonant by marking the consonant with the diacritics zer ( ِ ) and pesh ( ُ ) respectively.
•If the consonant is followed by the short vowel 'a' (/ə/), do not mark it with any diacritic. The short vowel 'a' is inherently assumed to be following an unamarked consonant in this spelling system, except in the cases of schwa syncope, and when the consonant is followed by a long vowel or do-chashmī he (ھ).
•Short vowels 'a', 'i' and 'u' at the initial position of a word are written as ا (unmarked ālif), اِ (ālif+zer) and اُ (ālif+pesh) respectively.
•If a consonant is dead (is followed by another consonant instead of a vowel), mark it with the diacritic jazm ( ْ ), except when cases of schwa syncope arise.

To understand the concept of schwa syncope, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwa_deletion_in_Indo-Aryan_languages

•When gemination of a consonant occurs, mark the consonant with the diacritic tashdīd ( ّ ).
•To indicate aspiration (/ʰ/) of a plosive, do-chashmī he (ھ) is written next to the unmarked plosive, and the short vowel (if any) that follows the aspirated consonant is indicated by the required diacritic marked upon the ھ and not the plosive itself.
•When a consonant is followed by a long vowel, it is not marked with any diacritic and the letter representing the long vowel is written next to the unmarked consonant.
