Note: each language orders the alphabet differently. Here they follow the Burmese system, with extensions at the end.

* indicates the preferred form is dotted.

† In Khamti, dotted AA65 is preferred for letter Nya; Unicode and UTN11 suggest dotted 107A for Aiton and Phake, but the form should be closer to dotted A9E7. Dotted 107A is an alternate form sometimes found in Shan.

‡ UTN11 shows ၵ uni1075 instead of ၷ 1077, but Carmen confirmed loop should be present.

§ Burmese letterforms are sometimes found in older texts for these letters.

Independent vowels

Only a handful of the languages of Burma use independent vowels.
