Duployan Affix Attached Tail

In French Duployan, it marks the suffix -sionnaire.

Attached affixes touch or cross a word's first or last letter. This one sits at the end; its place in the written sequence can differ from where it appears beside the letter on the page.

Where did Duployan shorthand come from?

It grew from an older French shorthand method.

Émile Duployé published the French system in 1860. At a seminary, a school for clergy, he learned Conen de Prépéan's shorthand as revised by Aimé Paris; he and his brother simplified it to speed writing and make reading easier to teach.

Father Jean-Marie-Raphaël Le Jeune later adapted it for Chinook Jargon, a regional trade language, and other First Nations languages in British Columbia. Kamloops Wawa used this writing from 1891–1923.
