Unicode Block - Nag Mundari

Nag Mundari is a script used for writing the Mundari language, primarily spoken by the Munda people in eastern India, particularly in the states of Jharkhand and Odisha. This writing system was designed to represent the phonetic and tonal features of the language, including its distinct vowel harmony and consonant clusters, with each character corresponding to a specific sound. The script includes letters for vowels, consonants, and diacritical marks, and it is written from left to right. It was developed in the late 20th century as part of a broader effort to preserve and promote the Mundari language, which has historically been written in other scripts such as Devanagari or Latin, and its standardized form now supports digital communication and literacy among the community.
