This paper explores the differences between the writing of the Tai Dam, Tai Don, and Jinping Dai languages, or dialects. It makes the assumption that the Tai Don and Jinping scripts will be unified with the Tai Viet script, and seeks to make a determination of what Tai Don or Jinping characters need to be added to the Tai Viet character repertoire in order to write those languages.
