Cherokee. Sequoyah, who invented the Cherokee syllabary, got ahold of an English book,
but didn't know how to read it or in which direction it was supposed to go. Name a language that expresses undetermined gender (that is, "one must always keep in mind one's surroundings" or "whoever that person is, he or she is crazy"). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

THe answer is Lisu! It was devised by a Christian Missionary. hmm, I actually just wanted to show it. I think Chinese minority languages can be really fascinating. THe language is in Yi-Burmese language group I think. Actually it's an abudiga and not an alphabet, or so I think, as the letter 'a' is the default vowel. M.M. = ma.ma. the dots represent tones (I don't know how to read it of course) but let's accept the CHerokee answer as well, since it's based on Latin as well. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
