Santali language

Santali is an Austroasiatic language spoken primarily by the Santali people in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan. It has its own unique script called Ol Chiki, which was created in the 20th century, though it can also be written in Latin and other scripts. Santali features a rich oral and musical tradition, reflecting its deep cultural roots. It serves as a vital means of communication and identity among its speakers, with efforts in recent years to preserve, promote, and standardize the language through education and media.
