What scripts are used by ethnic minorities in China?
Among the 56 ethnic groups, the Korean, Mongolian, Tibetan, Uyghur, Kazakh, Kirgiz, Yi, Dai, Lahu, Jingpo, Sibe, and Russian 12 ethnic groups each have their own scripts, while the Han, Hui, and Manchu ethnic groups use the common Chinese script.
The Mongols use a vertical pinyin script, and the Mongols living in Xinjiang also use a pinyin script based on the common Mongolian script, which is suitable for the characteristics of the Weilat dialect. The Dai in Yunnan use four kinds of Dai scripts in different regions, namely Dai tithe script, Dai na script, Dai tian script and Jinping Dai script.
Additionally, most of the Christian Lisu people use a script that spells Lisu with capital Latin letters and their inverted forms, and one or two districts in Weixi County use the Lisu syllabic script, "Zhushu," which was created by local farmers. Some of the Christian believers in northeastern Yunnan use the Miao script, which combines symbols that represent sounds, rhymes, and tones into squares. The Christian minority of the Wa use the Wa script, which is a form of the Latin alphabet.
Expanded InformationDevelopment of the Languages and Scripts of China's Minority GroupsSince the founding of New China, the state, in order to promote the development of culture and education among minority groups, has helped some minority groups to improve and create their own scripts, successively reforming the scripts of the Dai, Yi, Jingpo, and Lahu groups, and at the same time, adopting the Latin alphabet to help more than a dozen ethnic groups, such as the Zhuang, Buyei, Miao, Li, Naxi, Lisu, Hani, Wa, and Dong groups, to devise fourteen script programs to facilitate writing and writing. The program was designed to make it easier to write, learn, and print.
They are Mongolian, Tibetan, Uyghur, Zhuang, Kazakh, Sibe, Dai, Uzbek, Kyrgyz, Tatar, Russian, Yi, Naxi, Miao, Jingpo, Lisu, Lahu and Wa.
Besides the above-listed scripts, there are also a number of scripts that were used in history and later ceased to be used. These scripts are Turkic, migratory, Chaghatay, and ütepe scripts, Bastba script, Xixia script, Dongma pictographic script, Dongba hieroglyphic script, Shuishu, and Manchu script, and 17 others.
