The Fox alphabet was used to write Fox, an Algonquian language spoken in parts of Oklahoma, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska in the USA. It is based on cursive French handwriting.
The Fox alphabet first appeared in 19th century near the Great Lakes. It is also known as Fox I, the Great Lakes (Algonquian) syllabics or Western Great Lakes Syllabary. Fox speakers call it pa·pe·pi·po· after the first few letters. Versions of the script were used to write Fox, Sauk, Kickapoo, Potawatomi and Ho-Chunk (Winnebago), and possibly Ottawa as well. Use of this script was first reported in 1880, when it was being widely used by speakers of Fox, Sauk and Potawatomi.
This version of the Fox alphabet uses cursive letter from the Latin alphabet to represent syllables made up of a consonant plus a vowel, or a vowel on its own.
This variant of the Fox alphabet is in fact a syllabic alphabet or abugida in which the letters have an inherent vowel (a). Other vowels are indicated with dots.
This is another variant of the Fox alphabet.
