Zoulai Zoulai

The Zoulai alphabet was created in 1952 by M. Siahzathang of Churachandpur in Manipur in the northeast of India. It is used to write Zou, a Kukish language spoken in Manipur and Assam in the northeast India, and in Chin State in the northwest of Myanmar, and in Bangladesh. A few books have been published in the Zoulai alphabet, although few people currently use it. The name Zoulai means "writing of the highlands".

Zou is usually written with a version of the Latin alphabet.
