The Dogri script (Dogri: 𑠝𑠢𑠳𑠷 𑠖𑠵𑠌𑠤𑠬 𑠀𑠊𑠹𑠋𑠤, romanized: namēṁ ḍōgarā akkhara) is a writing system originally used for writing the Dogri language in Jammu and Kashmir in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent.[1]

History

The revival of the Dogra Akkhar script was supported by the order of Maharaja Ranbir Singh of Jammu and Kashmir.[2] It is a modified version of the old Dogra Akkhar script, which in turn was a Jammu variant of the Takri script.

Efforts of revival

Signboards in New Dogra Akkhar were erected at Jammu Tawi railway station.[3] However, the script is functionally extinct, with Devanagari being used to write Dogri now. Most speakers of Dogra are unable to read and write the language in its original script.
