Nokyung
Nokyung—A Complete Tai Lue font
Nokyung is an open source Unicode font package for rendering New Tai Lue (Xishuangbanna Dai) characters. It includes a complete set of New Tai Lue consonants, vowels, tones, and digits, along with punctuation and other useful symbols.
The New Tai Lue script is used by approximately 300,000 people who speak the Xishuangbanna Dai language in Yunnan, China. It is a simplification of the Tai Tham (Old Tai Lue) script as used for this language for hundreds of years.
For a different style of New Tai Lue script, see SIL’s Dai Banna SIL fonts.
