The Hitsui languge (ཧིཙུཨིགོ, Hitsui-go) is language used in Catfish Islands.
Letters
The Juramoji alphabet, utilized in the Hitsui language, employs a unique approach to syllable formation. Each syllable commences with an initial consonant (for instance, ཤ "sh"), followed by the addition of a vowel (such as ི "i"), resulting in a double letter (for example, ཤི "shi"). Syllables concluding with a vowel are represented solely by double letters. As an illustration, the syllable "shi" is denoted as ཤི.
When a syllable concludes with a consonant, it is represented by a double letter for the vowel combination and a single consonant for the coda. For example, "ren" is transcribed as རེན, where རེ (re) denotes the vowel sound, and ན (n) finalizes the syllable. This arrangement promotes clarity and efficiency while maintaining the visual elegance of the script.
Triple letters are also present in certain linguistic contexts. This phenomenon occurs when the endings "-yo," "-ye," or "-ya," which are preceded by a consonant, appear at the conclusion of a word. An example of this can be observed in the term "daimyo" (དྃཨིམྱོ).
