Are you only thinking of roman orthographies, or would you like examples from other writing systems? (I could write something to you about the Cambodian alphabet, which has many letters which are written above or below other letters.) Sally Keller<BR>

P.S. I have not been following any recent discussions, so do not know what the recent comment about superscripted letters was.<BR>

<BLOCKQUOTE><FONT SIZE="2"><FONT FACE="Arial">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 I¹m talking about phonemic differentiations and not something like abbreviations. For example, I mean writing something like tegged and teggwed to differentiate between a normal Œg¹ and a labialized Œg.¹ I don¹t mean something like ³ 1st. ²</FONT></FONT> <BR>
