<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>A recent comment about superscripted
letters caught my attention. Does anyone know of any languages that use
superscripted letters in their official orthographies? I imagine this is pretty
rare, but I was wondering how rare it is. Of course I’m talking about phonemic
differentiations and not something like abbreviations. For example, I mean
writing something like tegged and tegg<sup>w</sup>ed to differentiate between a
normal ‘g’ and a labialized ‘g.’ I don’t mean something like “ 1<sup>st</sup>.
