Syloti Nagri Unicode Characters page 1

The Syloti Nagri block contains characters used in the Syloti Nagri script, which is used to write the Sylheti language spoken in parts of India and Bangladesh. The script is an abugida, where each consonant has an inherent vowel sound that can be altered by adding diacritical marks. The Syloti Nagri script has a long history, dating back several centuries, and was once widely used for literary and religious texts. This block includes characters for consonants, vowels, and various diacritics. Today, there is a revival of interest in the script, particularly in the context of preserving Sylheti cultural identity..
