Everything about The Takri Script totally explained
The
Takri script (sometimes called
Tankri) is an
abugida writing system of the
Brahmic family of scripts. It is closely related to, and derived from, the
Sharada script employed by
Kashmiri. It is also related to the
Gurmukhī script used to write
Punjabi. Until the late 1940s, Takri was the official script for writing the
Dogri language in the state of
Jammu and Kashmir. Takri has historically been used by a number of
Pahari,
Nepali(Khas Kura) and
Dardic languages and dialects in the Western
Himalayas, such as Gaddi or Gaddki (the language of the
Gaddi ethnic group), Kashtwari (the dialect centered around the Kashtwar or
Kishtwar region of Jammu and Kashmir) and Chamiyali (the language of the
Chamba region of
Himachal Pradesh).
Proposed Unicode Support
There is a project to encode the Takri script in the
Unicode standard. Anshuman Pandey has submitted a proposal for
Takri to the Unicode Technical Committee . Takri is tentatively allocated in the Supplmental Multilingual Plane (SMP) at the code block U+11680 to U+116DF.
Revival Movements
Since Takri fell into disuse, there have been sporadic attempts to revive the script in Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh states. Kashtwari and Kulluvi are two languages for which recent efforts have been made.
