Sunuwar alphabet

The Sunuwar alphabet (previously the Jenticha script, occasionally Kõits script) is an alphabet developed by Krishna Bahadur Jentich in 1942,[1] to write the Sunwar language, a member of the Kiranti language family spoken in Eastern Nepal, as in Sikkim.When first created, the script was a pure alphabet, and has come to include a default non written /a/, giving it a feature of an abugida.During the tail end of the 20th century, users of the language added a further 11 letters into the script: Due to the lack of a set standard, the orthography can be vague, with digraphs still being used occasionally, and consonants still being used to denote retroflexives.[1] Soon after the creation of the script, conferences were held in villages in Dolakha District, to promote it, and help shape its future.A colon may also be used as punctuation; if it occurs after a word ending with a vowel letter it will typically be preceded by a space in order to remove ambiguity.
