The Kirat Rai Script

I recently learned of another script used for writing the Rai language of Sikkim. It was brought to my attention by Bijay Bantawa. It appears to be a revision of the 'Khambu Rai' script I wrote about earlier.

Here are the consonant letters for Kirat Rai with their Devanagari correspondences:



I will soon submit a document introducing this script to the Unicode Technical Committee. Any information about this script is welcome.

  2. I appreciate ur hardwork. it should be much better if a word 'newari' u have denoted be nepalbhasa/newarbhasa/nepabhasa/newabhasa.

    -cause all the languages use in nepal lies in the category 'bhot barmeli'.
    -in the category of language 'bhot barmeli' will not be ekar in thier cast. such as there will not be newari for newar, tamagi for tamang, magari for magar language, and khasi for khas language(old nepali language).
    -if it will be nepali ancient language khasi it represent as goat in nepali language.
    -so be carefull in newari language.
