Project Ol chiki

From mediawiki.org
InScript input method for Ol chiki.
Sarjom baha, a phonetic input method.

Project Ol chiki is a two folded project—the first part of it is to create a freely-licensed font for the Ol Chiki script that is used to write the Santali language and the second one is to create input tools and Open Educational Resources for users. This page works as a landing page to find all the work outputs that were created under the ambit of this project. If you have anything particular to discuss please share in the discussion page or reach out over email.
