The Tolong Siki alphabet was devised by Dr Narayan Oraon, a doctor from Jharkhand, with assistance from Francis Ekka, the former director of the Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL) in Mysore; Ramdayal Munda, the former Vice Chancellor of Ranchi University; and Nirmal Minz.
Dr Narayan Oraon decided to create a new script for his native language, Kurukh, which is usually written with the Devanagari alphabet. His alphabet was published on 15th May 1999, and introduced into some schools later that year. It was formally recognised by the government of Jharkhand in 2007.
Tolong Siki is an alphabetic script based on brahmi model. two designed fonts are available for TolongSiki.
1. Singi dai -designed by Nemhas Ekka of lahardaga , released in march 2007
2. Kelly Tolong designed by Kislaya IT Services (KITS), released in april 2007.
Tolong Siki is now promoted by the Kurukh Literary Society, and quite a few books and magazines have been published in it. It also taught in a number of schools.
Notable features
Type of writing system: alphabet
Direction of writing: left to right in horizontal lines
Used to write:
Kurukh (कुड़ुख़), a Dravidian language spoken mainly in the Indian state of Orissa, and also in Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and West Bengal, by about two million people. There are also some Kurukh speakers in Bangladesh, Nepal and Bhutan. Kurukh, which is also known as Uraon, Kurux, Kunrukh, Kunna, Urang, Morva and Birhor, is closely related to Brahui and Malto.
