Lepcha (Róng)

Lepcha (Róng) is a Tibeto-Burman language spoken in Sikkim, India and Bhutan. It is written with the Lepcha script, which is also used to write the Limbu language. The Lepcha script is an abugida, and consists of 15 consonant letters, which are each followed by a vowel marker. There are also four independent vowel letters. Lepcha has been written with the Lepcha script since the 17th century. Prior to that, it was written with the Tibetan alphabet. The Lepcha script is thought to have been derived from the Tibetan alphabet, and shares some similarities with it. However, it is not mutually intelligible with Tibetan, and has significant differences in both its structure and its sound system. Lepcha is a tonal language, and each syllable can be either high, low, or falling. The Lepcha script uses special symbols to indicate these tones. There are also several diacritics which are used to modify the sound of the consonants. The Lepcha script is an alphabet, and each letter represents a single sound. There are no silent letters, and every letter is pronounced. Lepcha words are typically made up of two or three syllables. Lepcha is written from left to right. There is no standard way to capitalize Lepcha words, though some writers do use initial capitals. There is also no standard punctuation, though some writers do use commas and full stops. Lepcha has no standard spelling system, and words can be spelled in a variety of ways. However, there are some general rules that are typically followed. For example, most Lepcha words end with a vowel, and many words have double consonants. Lepcha is a highly phonetic language, and words are typically spelled the way they are pronounced. This makes Lepcha words easy to read and pronounce, even for those who are not familiar with the language. The Lepcha script is an efficient way to write the Lepcha language. It is easy to learn, and can be used to write Lepcha words accurately.
