[TAGGED] RE: [Lexicog] superscripted letters in orthographies

[Crockett]

I was only thinking of Roman script types of orthographies. I should have
specified that. Those would apply most to the languages I’m working with.

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

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

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 



Thanks,
