|iso15924=Mtei }} The Meithei script, ''Meetei Mayek'', is an abugida that was used for the Meithei language, one of the official languages of the Indian state of Manipur, until the eighteenth century, when it was replaced by the Bengali script. A few manuscripts survive. In the twentieth century, the script experienced a resurgence. Since the Meithei language does not have voiced consonants, there are only fifteen consonant letters used for native words, plus three letters for pure vowels. Nine additional consonant letters inherited from the Indic languages are available for borrowings. There are seven vowel diacritics and a final consonant () diacritic. One of the unique feature of this script is the use of body parts in naming the letters. Every letter is named after a human body part in the Meithei language. For example, the first letter "''kok''" means "head"; the second letter "''sam''" means "hair"; the third letter "''lai''" means "forehead", and so on. == Unicode == The Meithei script was added to the Unicode Standard in October, 2009 with the release of version 5.2. 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「Meithei script」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
