==Tones== Tones are written with standard punctuation. Lisu punctuation therefore differs from international norms: the comma is {{angle bracket|{{script|Lisu|꓾}}}} (hyphen period) and the full stop is {{angle bracket|{{script|Lisu|꓿}}}} (equal sign). {|class=wikitable |+Diacritics on the syllable {{script|Lisu|ꓝ}} {{IPA|[tsɑ]}} |- | {{script|Lisu|ꓝ}} {{IPA|[tsɑ̄]}}|| {{script|Lisu|ꓝꓸ}} {{IPA|[tsɑ́]}}|| {{script|Lisu|ꓝꓹ}} {{IPA|[tsɑ̌]}} |- | {{script|Lisu|ꓝꓻ}} {{IPA|[tsɑ̄ˀ]}}*|| {{script|Lisu|ꓝꓺ}} {{IPA|[tsɑ̄ˀ]}}|| {{script|Lisu|ꓝʼ}} {{IPA|[tsɑ̄̃]}} |- | {{script|Lisu|ꓝꓼ}} {{IPA|[tsàˀ]}}|| {{script|Lisu|ꓝꓽ}} {{IPA|[tsà]}}|| {{script|Lisu|ꓝˍ}} {{IPA|[tsɑ̄à]}} |} :<nowiki>*</nowiki>It is not clear how the {{angle bracket|{{script|Lisu|ꓻ}}}} mid tone differs from the unmarked mid tone. The tones {{angle bracket|{{script|Lisu|ꓸ}}}}, {{angle bracket|{{script|Lisu|ꓹ}}}}, {{angle bracket|{{script|Lisu|ꓺ}}}}, {{angle bracket|{{script|Lisu|ꓻ}}}} may be combined with {{angle bracket|{{script|Lisu|ꓼ}}}} and {{angle bracket|{{script|Lisu|ꓽ}}}} as compound tones. However, the only compound tone still in common use is {{angle bracket|{{script|Lisu|ꓹꓼ}}}}. The apostrophe indicates [[nasalization]]. It is combined with tone marks. The low [[Macron (diacritic)|macron]] indicates the Lisu "A glide", a contraction of {{IPA|[à]}} without an intervening glottal stop. The tone is not always falling, depending on the environment, but is written {{angle bracket|{{script|Lisu|ˍ}}}} regardless.
