Fraser alphabet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fraser alphabet is an artificial script invented around 1915 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 alphabet, and some turned or flipped versions thereof, to write consonants and vowels. Tones and nasalization are written with characters based on punctuation marks.
The Chinese government recognized the alphabet in 1992 as the official script for writing in Lisu.
