Ranjana Script

Ranjana (Calligraphy) is artistic script. It is also considered as holy script, which developed in 11th century. This script is spread in many countries like India, Tibet, China, Mongolia, Japan etc., specially in Buddhist monasteries. It has thick & thin attractive lining. Thick lined script can mark the paper for longer duration. This script is considered as world's 2nd most beautiful & artistic script. Kutaksyar is a way of writing Ranjana script especially in writing mantras, slogans etc, which, unlike others, runs from up to down. It is worthwhile noting that scripts are not always related to the particular language. Though many inscriptions and manuscript are found written in Nepal Bhasa, Nepal script was most widely used to write Sanskrit language than Nepal Bhasa. Nepal script was also used to write Maithali language. A few years ago, a book 'Tarka Bitarka' by Nagendra Sharma has been published in Nepali Language in Nepal script. Brahmi script is parallelly related to Pali and Sanskrit. Today including Nepali, other languages : Hindi, Nepal Bhasa, Tamang, Maithali, for instance, are written in Devanagari. Even English we write is in Roman script. So, Nepal script does not belong to particular language or caste. It is the universal script of Nepal.
