Sunuwar

Sunuwar script is used to write the Sunuwar language, spoken in Nepal and India. It is an abugida, meaning that each character represents a consonant-vowel pair. However, unlike most other abugidas, Sunuwar does not use a separate character for each vowel; instead, vowels are indicated with diacritics. The Sunuwar script was developed in the early 19th century by King Rajendra Bikram Shah, who commissioned a team of scholars to create a new script for the Sunuwar language. The new script was based on the Devanagari alphabet, with some modifications to better suit the Sunuwar language. Since its creation, the Sunuwar script has been used for a variety of purposes, including writing books, newspapers, and other publications in Sunuwar. It has also been used for inscriptions on monuments and public buildings. Despite its widespread use, the Sunuwar script has been largely overshadowed by the more widely used Devanagari alphabet. Nevertheless, it remains an important part of Sunuwar culture and heritage.
