Batak script

Batak script is a writing system used by the Batak people of North Sumatra, Indonesia. It is an abugida, meaning each character typically represents a consonant followed by a default vowel sound that can be modified with diacritics. The script is historically significant for recording Batak literature, culture, and oral traditions. It features a unique, artistic design with intricate characters, often used in traditional rituals and carvings. While its usage has declined, efforts are being made to preserve and revitalize the Batak script in contemporary culture and education.
