Assuming three light neutrinos and the see-saw mechanism we present a semiquantitative model of fermion masses based on (SUSY) SU(5) and abelian horizontal charges. A good description of the observed pattern of quark and lepton masses is obtained. For neutrinos we naturally obtain widely split masses and large atmospheric neutrino mixing as a consequence of SU(5)-related asymmetric mass matrices for d quarks and charged leptons.

Maximal Abelian Flavor Symmetries
MAFS approximates 15 flavor observables in SU(5) using 5 ε_a parameters and in SO(10) using 3, while requiring large neutrino mixing from quark hierarchies and generating baryon asymmetry via leptogenesis.
