IMFI is an acronym for "Initial, Medial, Final, Isolated", a writing system in which each character has four different potential shapes:
- initial – used for the first character in a word
- medial – used in the middle of a word
- final – used for the last character in a word
- isolated – used for single-letter words
The Arabic and Syriac script are examples of IMFI writing systems.
