		The Yi people (own name in the Cool Mountain dialect: ꆈꌠ, official transcription: Nuosu, IPA: [nɔ̄sū]; Chinese: 彝族, Pinyin: Yìzú; the older name "Lolo" is now considered derogatory in China, though used officially in Vietnam as Lô Lô) are a modern ethnic group in China and Vietnam.

	Babel Stone : Yi : Unicode Encoding of the Yi Script
		The Yi Syllables block comprises 1,165 syllables, of which 1,164 represent all of the allowable syllables of the Liangshan Yi dialect (a syllable comprising consonant initial, vowel medial and tone final components), and one is a syllable repetition symbol [U+A015].
		This script was developed in 1974 in order to replace the existing Yi script, which no longer accurately reflected the phonetic characteristics of the modern Yi language, had numerous internal inconsistencies (syllables with multiple pronunciations and/or meanings, or multiple syllables representing the same syllable), and had numerous variant and local-form syllables.
		Were the Guizhou and Yunnan scripts to be standardised, this would probably mean that a high proportion of all existing syllables would be encoded in one or more of the standardised Yi scripts, in which case it would be sufficient to encode all the unused syllables as a miscellaneous "Yi Extensions" block.

		Ah Yi also exhibits a certain stubbornness and decisiveness when she feels that something is right which is yet another sign of her strength.
		It is also to Ah Yi's credit and the script's credit that she doesn't do the typical TVB series thing and disappear to Shanxi for 10 years, which is yet another reason why I like OTTOF.

		Or else, the inventor of writing was supposedly inspired by a dream, as in the case of Momolu Duwalu Bukele, the inventor of the Vai (West African) script, or by a vision as in the case of Shong Lue Yang, the inventor of the Pahawh Hmong script.
		Discounting the scripts (such as Cree) invented by linguists, most of these writing systems are not particularly remarkable, qua writing system; this, of course is not to say anything about the remarkableness of their invention.
		Issues discussed include the rise and fall of Fraktur script in Germany; a very brief sketch of some psycholinguistic results from Serbo-Croatian a language which was (until very recently) taught in two scripts; the coexistence of scripts in India; Christian missionary activities; and script reform in and after the Soviet Union.
