Font

Tai Lü has its own script, which was developed from the ancient Lanna alphabet and is very similar to the other Indic scripts in Southeast Asia.

The modern version of the font ( New Tai Lue ) was developed in China in the 1950s from an older font ( Tai Le). Since the 1980s, used in China, both the older and the newer version.

The new variant has 37 letters for consonants at syllable beginning; 5 of the consonants may be combined with the letter of w; there are 2 tone marks and 16 or 17 characters for Vokalnuklei; 7 characters for consonant at the end of a syllable formed by a diacritical mark; There are two ligatures of vowel and consonant characters.

The Silbenanlautkonsonanten are vowels preceded by or. The Anlautkonsonanten fall into two classes. In what tone one syllable is pronounced depends on the class of Anlautkonsonanten, the syllable structure, the length of the vowel and the tone marks.

There are separate numerals.
