Numerals

Hi!

You asked about numerals for Pa'O. Some questions about this:

1. Are these the same numerals as in Burmese itself?
2. Is this also needed for Eastern Pwo (kjp) and for S'gaw Karen (ksw)?

The Pa'o language has two alphabets, writing also takes two forms, similarly, the Northern Thai language has two forms of writing, in the Pa'o language, the alphabet from Mon State and the alphabet from Shan State are used in two forms, the Pa'o alphabet in Mon State is called Thaton Alan Tara alphabet, the current Thaton Alan Tara alphabet has few users and no font yet, the Pa'O Thaton Alan Tara alphabet in Mon State is an adopted Pyu alphabet. The Pa'O alphabet in Shan State is called the Taunggyi alphabet, the Pa'O Taunggyi alphabet in Shan State is widely used and very similar to Burmese. The Pa'O Taunggyi alphabet is an adopted Burmese alphabet and vocabulary, Pa'O does not have its own alphabet, all Pyu and Burmese are adoption alphabet, the text I now translate on Translatewiki is the Taunggyi alphabet from Shan State. The Pa'O alphabet is completely different from the S'gaw Karen alphabet. Historically, the Pa'O were known to be of Karen descent, but they are did not like to be called Karen, the Pa'O often claim that they belong to the Pyu tribe, Pa'O Taunggyi alphabet numerals are the same as Mon-Burmese, see the Pa'O Taunggyi alphabet numerals page here= https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/blk/%E1%80%9C%E1%80%AD%E1%80%90%E1%80%BA%E1%80%95%E1%80%A1%E1%80%AD%E1%80%AF%E1%80%9D%E1%80%BA%E1%82%8F In the Northern Thai language, those who do not have the Tai Tham font often use the Thai alphabet instead, thanks.

OK, so I understand that it is the same as in Burmese itself, but still: Is this also needed for Eastern Pwo (kjp) and for S'gaw Karen (ksw)? :)

Since I am a writer, I would like to explain with evidence, the S'gaw Karen(ksw), Eastern Pwo Karen(kjp), Western Pwo Karen(pwo) uses three types of alphabet, see my explanation below.

• Le Kwe Kaw alphabet number

  

  These Le Kwe Kaw alphabets are Eastern Pwo Karen, Western Pwo Karen numbers used in Myaing Gyi Ngu, Karen State, these Le Kwe Kaw alphabets are not yet in Unicode.

• Lay Kel alphabet number

  

  These Lay Kel alphabets are Eastern Pwo Karen, Western Pwo Karen numbers used in Kyainseikgyi, Karen State, these Lay Kel alphabets are not yet in Unicode.

• Thaton Alan Tara alphabet number

  

  This Thaton Alan Tara alphabet is Pa'O (blk) used in Thaton area of Mon State, this Thaton Alan Tara alphabet does not yet have a font for phones and computers.

• Burmese/Myanmar, currently the most used number

  This ၁၂၃၄၅၆၇၈၉၀ number is the most commonly used number in Mon(mnw), Burmese(my), S'gaw Karen(ksw), Eastern Pwo Karen(kjp), Western Pwo Karen(pwo), Pa'O (blk), Red Karen(eky).
