The Chisoi alphabet or Kurmali Lipi is a alphabetic writing system used to write the Kudmali language spread across West Bengal, Jharkhand, Odisha and Assam in northeastern India.[1] It was invented by Jayanta Kumar Mahata, a native speaker, in 1986 as an authentic way to write the phonetics of Kurmali. Various school primers and educational materials have been published in this script.[2]: 2 Though the predominant scripts for writing Kudmali remain Devanagari, Bengali and Odia, community-led efforts have increased its use across Jharkhand.
Chisoi is a unicameral alphabet written from left to right with no ligatures or conjuncts. It has 30 basic alphabets, 27 basic consonants and 3 diacritic markers, along with 10 numeric signs. [2]: 3–4
Unicode
A proposal has been submitted to encode the Chisoi alphabet in Unicode.[2]
