ipa brackets and transcription delimiters 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 it is recognised in sikkim and used as an official writing system 2 the alphabet has 33 letters 10 numerals and 1 auspicious sign 1 it is a grammatological isolate 3 though some symbols resemble those of the limbu and latin scripts 4 the script is written left to right the writing system currently has no official standard when first created the script was a pure alphabet and has come to include a default non written a a feature of an abugida history edit when jentich first created the alphabet it was limited to 22 letters in addition to the 10 digits vowel length was not written letters could also represent their retroflex consonant equivalent and aspirated consonants were written as digraphs using the letter hamso the letter na was used to represent both nasal consonants and vowel nasalisation also through the use of digraphs the velar nasal ŋ was shown with a digraph of the consonants na and gil as in english ng tones were also not shown in the orthography despite sunwar being a tonal language the letter secha was used to show both the voiceless postalveolar fricative ʃ and the voiceless alveolar sibilant s during the tail end of the 20th century users of the language added a further 11 letters into the script aal borrowed from limbu to write a with long vowel length kloko to write the glottal stop ʔ ṭentu ṭhele ḍonga to improve clarity by having separate symbols for retroflexive consonants kha chhelap phar thari to improve clarity by having separate symbols for aspirated consonants sheyer a letter for ʃ to replace the digraph sh ngar a letter for ŋ to replace the digraph ng laissi a character to denote vowel length 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 5 letters edit image letter name transcription ipa devanagari non original appho a ə अ aal aa a आ yes imar i i इ utthi u u उ eko e e ए otthi

pwopwo the laissi symbol or ː when using the ipa symbol instead of the generic colon punctuation is used to extend vowel length it is a non original character 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 6 the symbol pvo is used to mark the voiceless bilabial implosive ɓ̥ it is referred to as an auspicious symbol in spoken sunuwar the consonant is often said twice and is often found in salutations and well wishes numbers edit sunuwar uses a set of ten numerals in base 10
