Today, Yapiri stands as a living reality. After months of careful design, testing, and refinement, version 1.0 has been released to the world. But this is not the destination — it is the first confident step on a much longer and more beautiful journey.
What We Have Achieved in v1.0
Version 1.0 brings a complete phonemic alphabet, a thoughtfully designed numeral system, basic OpenType features, a functional Keyman keyboard, and a clean, elegant typeface. It is already being used by early adopters with pride and joy.
Yet we know there is so much more to do.
The Vision for Yapiri’s Future
We see Yapiri not just as a script, but as a growing ecosystem that supports the full flourishing of the Kokborok language in the modern world.

Community-Driven Development
The future of Yapiri will be shaped by you — the community. We welcome suggestions for new features, stylistic preferences, and real-world use cases. This script belongs to the Tiprasa people, and its evolution will reflect your voices.
The Heart of the Matter
Yapiri v1.0 is a seed planted with love and hope. With each new version, that seed grows stronger, its roots deeper, and its branches wider — reaching toward a future where Kokborok thrives in every domain of life.
We are not merely building a script. We are building confidence, identity, and possibility for generations to come. The best chapters of Yapiri’s story are still waiting to be written — together.
Thank you for being part of this journey. The future looks bright, and it will be written in Yapiri.
