Alphabet created in 1915 by British missionary James Fraser using uppercase and inverted Latin letters for the Lisu people of China and Myanmar. Spread rapidly alongside Bible translation; the Lisu achieved near-complete literacy within a single generation — one of the fastest successful script adoptions in modern missionary history. ~1 million Lisu people across China, Myanmar, and Thailand use this script.
