ORTHOGRAPHY
“Before very recent times the Lushais (Chins) had no written language. When, for instance, they desired to momenmorate the prowess of the dead they resorted to symbols: on the memorial pillar of a man who had killed an evemy in battle, they carved a human figure; if he had killed a tiger they cut out a representation of that animal. From symbols such as these as in the ancient civilizations, an alphabet might have developed, but in the meantime the language was reduced to writing by Europeans and the system adopted was so simple that thousands of Lushai have already learnt to read and write”. Thus wrote the late Rev. F.J Sandy of the Welsh Mission in the Introduction of his “Elements of Lushai Grammar” in 1920, referring to the work of Mr. Savidge and myself in our early pioneering days at Fort Aijal (Aizawl) in 1894-98.
In reducing the Lushai language to writing we followed, as I have already mentioned, the phonectic Hunterian system of orthography as closely as possible. The one particular in which we found it necessary to deviate from it to any extent was in the use of “aw” of the vowel sound as in the English awl, fall, law, etc. For the short vowel sound as in the English words pot, on, long, etc., however, we adhered to the Hunterian system and used “o” which at first seemed to be quite satisfactory. 

But later on, when we had gone to the Abors and Miris, and the Welsh missionaries, the Revs. D. E. Jones and Edwin Rowlands, were continuing our work in the North Lushai Hills and teaching many of the tribesfolk to read and write, they discovered that it was a mistake to use tow different symbols or those tow sounds because in Lushai (Chin) speech the one was constantly changing to the other. As soon therefore as we were transferred to South Lushai (Lunglei region) we had a conference with the Welsh missionaries in the North about the matter. They had already adopted “aw” to represent both the above long and short sounds – placing a circumflex accent on the long one when necessary to distinguish it from the sort one. Our own experience in reducing the Abor Miri language to writing and convinced us also that vowels closely allied to one another, and which are liable to change from one to the others, should (diacritical marks excepted) be represented by the same symbol. We could therefore see the necessity of making an alteration in our orginal Lushai system, and, as we could discover no better solution than that suggested by the Welsh missionaries, we agreed to their proposal.
