The Fraser alphabet or Old Lisu Alphabet is an artificial script invented around 1915 by Sara Ba Thaw, a Karen preacher from Myanmar, and improved by the missionary James O. Fraser, to write the Lisu language. It is a single-case (unicameral) alphabet. The alphabet uses uppercase letters from the Latin script, and rotated versions thereof, to write consonants and vowels. Tones and nasalization are written with Roman punctuation marks, identical to those found on a typewriter. Like the Indic abugidas, the vowel is not written. However, unlike those scripts, the other vowels are written with full letters. The Chinese government recognized the alphabet in 1992 as the official script for writing in Lisu. ==Consonants== Note: You may need to download a Lisu capable Unicode font if not all characters display. #Initial glottal stop is not written. It is automatic before all initial vowels but and . # sometimes represents a "vowel", presumably a medial , and sometimes a consonant . and are likewise ambiguous. # only occurs in an imperative particle. It is an allophone of , which causes nasalization to the syllable. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fraser alphabet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
