{{Infobox writing system|name=Lo script|native_name={{cs|hsk|hiH lF}}|type=Abugida|time=4589 CY to present|languages=[[Regal Dòn Proper]], [[Outlands Dòn]], [[Butakkin]], among others|fam1=[[Hashka proto-writing]]|fam2=[[Hashka hieroglyphs]]}}

The '''Lo script''' (rarely also reffered to as '''Hashka syllabics''') is an [[Wikipedia:Alphasyllabary|alphasyllabary]] used near universally throughout [[Anschuhe]] to encode [[hashka]] languages, including the literary [[Regal Dòn Proper]], which it was originally created for. Its name derives from the RDP word for "small," {{Cs|hsk|lF}} ''loó.''

== History ==

=== Origin ===
Lo was personally created in 4589 CY by Queen [[Hàanìì Ngo Ngar Dèeil-Iinshin|Ngo Ngar Dèeil-Iinshin]]. Prior to its invention, literacy was exclusive to highly educated scholars trained on a complex logographic system, [[Hashka hieroglyphs]] (nowadays called the ''Hieh'' script, from {{Cs|hsk|hieeG}} ''hieé'' "large"). Queen Dèeil-Iinshin, who wished to increase literacy in the [[RSS]] during its early industrialisation, created Lo with this purpose in mind.

=== Spread ===
Lo spread slowly and recalcitrantly, mostly due to several attempts at squandering its promulgation by hashka literati, who believed literacy should remain a private, high-class matter, which had no place in the lower castes. As such, for most of its infancy, the script was mostly used by the royal family, their close friends, and religious scholars.

The spread of Lo quickened in 4592 with its adoption by several courtesan males who, wishing to become literate but being otherwise untrained in the Hieh script, sought to be taught by monks, who taught them Lo due to its ease of use and adoption. These early courtesan Lo users caught the attention of Queen Dèeil-Iinshin, who promoted their works as foundational literature. These works, now known as the [[Five-Hundred and Twelve and a Half Stories]] ({{Cs|hsk|kiBkvAnuA biA6/}} ''Kíìkv́nú bi100½''), were a collection of prosaic and poetic romantic, tragic and comedic stories, and the earliest proper pieces of Lo literature (not counting earlier epistolary works or diaries). The courtesan authors were assigned important scholarly positions and their works were taught in schools, leading to wider recognition of the script.

=== Modern day ===
As of 4627 CY, the Lo script is widely used across the near-entirety of the continent. Although literacy remains low in the more rural areas, urbanised areas see high rates, mostly thanks to the Lo script and its heavy promotion by royal hashka castes.

== Letters ==

=== Consonants ===
The following table shows Lo script letters in their canonical ''kwomodo'' order, as specified by queen Dèeil-Iinshin, as well as their names and pronunciations in [[Regal Dòn Proper]]. All letters have an implicit /o/.
