As with other Brahmic scripts, the Burmese alphabet is arranged into groups of five letters for stop consonants called wek (ဝဂ်, from Pali vagga) based on articulation. Within each group, the first letter is tenuis ("plain"), the second is the aspirated homologue, the third and fourth are the voiced homologues and the fifth is the nasal ...
The Mon–Burmese script (Burmese: မွန်မြန်မာအက္ခရာ listen ⓘ; Mon: အက္ခရ်မန်ဗၟာ, listen ⓘ, Thai: อักษรมอญพม่า listen ⓘ; also called the Mon script, Old Mon script and Burmese script) is an abugida that derives from the Pallava Grantha script of southern India and later of Southeast Asia.
The Shan alphabet is characterised by the circular letter forms of the Mon-Burmese script. It is an abugida, all letters having an inherent vowel /a/. Vowels are represented in the form of diacritics placed around the consonants. It is written left to right [2]
The modern Mon alphabet has several letters and diacritics that do not exist in Burmese, such as the stacking diacritic for medial 'l', which is placed underneath the letter. [8] There is a great deal of discrepancy between the written and spoken forms of Mon, with a single pronunciation capable of having several spellings. [9]

The letter for /l/ လ is still pronounced as /l/ in initial position, but as a medial, it has completely merged with /-j-/ and /-ɹ-/. In OB inscriptions this medial could be rendered with a subscript or "stacked" လ as in က္လ , a practice still used in the rare dialects, such as Tavoyan/Dawe where the /-l-/ medial is still pronounced ...
The first braille alphabet for Burmese was developed by Father William Henry Jackson ca. 1918. [1] There was no provision for the voiced aspirate series of consonants (gh, jh, dh, bh), nor for the retroflex (tt etc.), and Jackson provided distinct letters for complex onsets such as ky, hm and for various syllable rimes (ok, ein, aung, etc.), with no regard to how they are written in the print ...
