Karbi script

Karbi language is officially written in Roman script in Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao districts of Assam, Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh. However, in Kamrup districts (South Kamrup, Kamrup metropolitan and East Kamrup) of Assam prefer mostly East nagari (Assamese) script. The written form Karbi language has been developing since the time of British rule in India and since then Karbi language is being written in both East Nagari and Roman scripts. The Karbi Lammet Amei (Committee maintaining the Karbi language) earlier adopted East Nagari to write Karbi language, but later changed to Roman script. In recent trend, a faction of Karbi people think that Karbi language should have its own script. In one case, Sarthe Teron Milik introduced a new series of Karbi alphabets and numerals in his book, Arleng.
