Script - Gurung Khema

Gurung Khema is a script used to write the Gurung language, primarily spoken in Nepal. It is a relatively recent creation, developed in the 1990s to preserve and promote the language, which was traditionally written in the Tibetan script or occasionally in Devanagari. The script features distinct letterforms, including unique vowel marks and consonant clusters, designed to accurately represent Gurung phonology. Its Unicode encoding allows for digital text, enabling the language to be used in modern technology, education, and cultural preservation efforts. Gurung Khema reflects a contemporary effort to revitalize an indigenous language through a tailored writing system, bridging oral tradition with digital literacy.
