Summary

This note reviews the historical shifts and developments in the Gurage orthography. The aims of the review were (1) to record, and add clarity to, the history of the Gurage orthography which does not appear to have been written before, (2) to acknowledge and credit people who have developed the past orthography,(3) to provide a reference for the orthography whereby a person finding any Gurage language document from the last 50 years can refer to the note and determine what the letter is, and (4) to promote the current orthography to technical and general users by showing its continuous development, grapheme patterning and simplicity.
