Towards making a script for Kashmiri Language

By CL Nagri

In part I of this write up we have seen how kashmiri language was formed, forced and then destroyed by the wheel of time. Its rise and fall is now a past history.

This revised script has been devised to revive its glory by giving it a befitting shape so that it can arise once again on its own legs. Devanagari(Devanagri/Nagri) script (in sanskrit guidance) is the only way to make it a perfect language with its own script so that it could be written and then read with comfort and ease.

The devising of this script is my sincere effort and to accept it or otherwise is up to the kashmiri pandit community.
