Odia script

Odia script is an ancient writing system used to write the Odia language, spoken primarily in Odisha, India. It is a Brahmic script, characterized by rounded shapes and distinctive loops. The script features vowels and consonants, with special symbols called matras that combine to form syllables. Odia script is used for literature, official documents, and daily communication. Its elegant and flowing design reflects the cultural richness of Odisha. As an abugida, the script's characters are built upon consonant bases, with modifications for vowels, making it both unique and efficient for capturing the sounds of the language.
