Abstract:

The forming process of the Naxi Dongba written language included the two stages: the Ruoke writing was its initial stage and the Ludian writing its late stage. The essential source of the Naxi Dongba written language was the Ruoke writing whose main part was an ideograph. As a high stage, the Ludian writing supplied pictophonetic words.

Key words: Naxi Dongba writing, Ruoke writing, Ludian writing
