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>

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</span></font> <br>
