Limbu

The Limbu script is used to write the Limbu language, which is spoken in Nepal and India. The Limbu script is an abugida, which means that each character represents a consonant-vowel pair. The characters are written left to right, and there is no distinction between upper and lower case. The Limbu script was developed in the 19th century by missionaries who wanted to write the Limbu language in a way that was easy for speakers of other languages to read. The first Limbu alphabet was published in 1822, and the first Limbu Bible was published in 1829. The Limbu script has been used for other purposes besides writing the Limbu language. It has been used to write Nepal Bhasa, a language spoken in Nepal, and has also been used to write Tibetan. The Limbu script is not currently used very much, but there is a movement to revive it. In 2017, the Nepalese government recognized the Limbu script as one of the country's official scripts.
