Shan Alphabet

The Shan alphabet was probably derived from, or at least influenced by, the Old Mon alphabet.
Shan alphabet is used to write the Shan language, a Tai language closely related to Thai and Lao. Moreover, many Shan speakers live in Shan State, Burma (Myanmar), and there is also a large Shan population in Northern Thailand (formerly Lanna Kingdom, an independent Tai kingdom whose mother tongue is closely related to Thai and Lao).
