	languagehat.com: LEPCHA [MORA].
		Lepcha is a language of the Indian state of Sikkim and nearby regions; it's a Sino-Tibetan language, but its exact relationship to the others is apparently in dispute.
		While the Lepcha and Mongolian are obviously related (considering they both come from devanagari sources), it makes more sense that the Lechpa utilized scriptual hints from a closer neighbor - the Tibetans (esp. through the spread of Buddhism to non Indo-European speaking areas).
		While the Lepcha script is a bit complex for unicode, I am always pleased to see devanagari script cousins, as these writing systems are so beautiful.
