The Limbu script is a writing system used for the Limbu language, primarily spoken by the Limbu people in eastern Nepal and parts of India. It is an abugida, meaning each character represents a consonant with an inherent vowel sound that can be modified with diacritics. The script has its roots in the ancient Brahmi script and was officially recognized in Nepal in 2005. Limbu script consists of 45 basic characters, including vowels and consonants, and is written from left to right. It plays a crucial role in preserving the cultural identity of the Limbu community and is used in literature, education, and religious texts.
