Graphical summary of the development of Tai scripts from a Shan perspective, as reported in Sai Kam Mong's Shan Script book.

The Shan script is a Brahmic abugida, used for writing the Shan language, which was derived from the Burmese script. Due to its recent reforms, the Shan alphabet is more phonetic than other Burmese-derived scripts.
