The Dehong Dai script is a syllabic alphabet used to write Tai Nuea, a Southwestern Tai language spoken mainly in southwestern China. It is also known as the Tai Le script or Lik Tho Ngok script, and it possibly developed from the Burmese script during the 15th century.
Originally tones were not usually marked in the Dehong Dai script, and there was no distinction between some vowel sounds. In 1956 a revised version of the script with tones indicated by diacritics was officially launched. In 1988 another revision replaced the tone diacritics with the tone letters.
