For the Borok People
Yapiri belongs to every Kokborok speaker. Join teachers, students, writers, and advocates helping this script take root.
Who Can Join
Yapiri was built by the community and for the community. Whether you speak Kokborok fluently or are just learning, whether you are a linguist or a schoolchild — there is a place for you here.
Native speakers are the heart of this project. Your language, your script. Try it, share it, and help us make it better.
Help bring Yapiri into classrooms. We welcome collaboration on teaching materials, worksheets, and learning resources.
Write in Yapiri. Songs, stories, poems — every piece of text written in this script helps establish it as a living writing system.
Help build keyboard tools, font improvements, mobile apps, or Unicode submission materials. Technical contributions are vital.
Support the Unicode submission process. Help document phonological scope, review the specification, or connect us with institutions.
Share Yapiri with your network. Every share, every mention, every person who learns this script is a step toward recognition.
The Bigger Goal
The long-term mission is to get Yapiri officially encoded in the Unicode Standard — giving Kokborok a permanent place in the global digital text infrastructure, alongside every other major writing system in the world.
This requires demonstrated community use, institutional support, and a formal proposal to the Unicode Technical Committee via the Script Encoding Initiative at UC Berkeley. Community growth is the single most important factor right now.
yapiri — footprintsEvery person who uses, shares, or teaches Yapiri brings Kokborok one step closer to a script of its own in the Unicode Standard.
