Line 1:

We need the charts of consonants and vowels and diacritics for this page, but I didn't want to just copy-paste the ones from the [[Assamese script]] and [[Bengali script]] pages, as they are language-specific (in terms of IPA pronunciation, name, etc.). Can we have a chart (I don't know how to make these) that just has the letters without the pronunciation... or maybe a chart with ALL the pronunciations (Bengali, Assamese, etc.) included? I don't want this to be too Bengali-biased. --[[User:SameerKhan|SameerKhan]] 22:51, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

: In this article, we can include a table with all the symbols while indicating what is used in Bengali, Assamese or Manipuri in seperate columns as shown in the following sample:

:{| class="wikitable"

|+Consonant Table

|-

! Symbol !! Bengali !! Assamese !! Manipuri

|-

! ক

| kô || kô || kô

|-

! র

| rô || - || rô

|-

!ৰ

| - || rô || -

|-

!স

| sô || xô / sô * || sô

|-

! ৱ

| - || wô || wô

|}

:'* when combined with other consonents.

: Additionally, I think we need to '''clean-up''' this page along with [[Bengali Script]] and [[Assamese Script]] pages so that topics are not repeated. This page should deal in a more generalized discussions of the script, developmental history and combined phonology as shown in the above table. The other two language specific pages should deal with the use of the script in that language. For example, there is no point of writing about [[Buranjis]] or Bhakti Poems of Sankardev under [[Bengali Script]]. - [[User:Bikram98|Bikram98]] 05:20, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

:: I agree with [[User:Bikram98|Bikram98]]. Along with other notes. For example ক্ষ in Assamese is not a composite letter but a consonant itself. [[User:Chaipau|Chaipau]] 20:59, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

::: I believe the use of compound letters is a major difference among the languages. Inputs on this would be helpful too. [[User:Chaipau|Chaipau]] 11:21, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I corrected Bishnupriya Manipuri part according to "An Etymological Dictionary of Bishnupriya Manipuri" by: Dr. K. P. Sinha, Published by: Punthi Pustak, Calcutta, 1986. Also I suggest adding some more alphabets:

:{| class="wikitable"

|+ Extended Consonant Table
