History of the alphabet
This article contains Wancho text. Without proper rendering support, you may see question marks, boxes, or other symbols instead of Wancho script.

Wancho script is an alphabet created between 2001 and 2012 by middle school teacher Banwang Losu in Longding district, Arunachal Pradesh for writing the Wancho language. Letters represent consonants and vowels. Conjunct consonants are not used. Tone is indicated with diacritical marks on vowel letters.

While Wancho script is taught in some schools, the Wancho language is generally written in either Devanagari script or the Latin alphabet.
