Produktbeschreibung
The Burmese script is an abugida in the Brahmic family used in Burma for writing Burmese. In addition, various other scripts share some aspect and letters of the Burmese script, though they should not be considered strictly Burmese, including Mon, Shan, S'gaw Karen, Eastern and Western Pwo Karen dialects, Geba Karen, Rumai Palaung, Kayah, as well as being used as scripts for Pali and Sanskrit. The characters are rounded in appearance, because the traditional palm leaves used for writing on with a stylus would have been ripped by straight lines. It is written from left to right. It requires no spaces between words although modern writing usually contains spaces after each clause to enhance readability. The Burmese script, adapted from the Mon script, has undergone considerable modifications to suit the phonology of Burmese, and to fit its word order of Subject Object Verb. This script has been altered from language to language, including Shan and Karen. One major difference is theexistence of tone markers in the Shan and Karen scripts which do not exist in the Burmese script.
