Script and Alphabet of Sindhi language: A review
Abstract
Sindhi is one of the ancient languages of the world. It has its own alphabet
and script. Sindhi language has developed itself and changed into today's
script. From Time to time, changes and reforms were made for the
betterment. It is not true that Sindhi alphabet was developed by British
Rulers. Before British rule, Persian and Arabic were the official languages
of Sindh. But in Madrasas and schools or in seminaries Sindhi language
was the medium of instructions.
Apart from that Sindhi language was being written in Devanagari,
Gurmukhi, Hut wanki, Khojki, Gujrati and Khudawadi script.
In modern times, some of the experts of technology and scholars criticise
Sindhi script and alphabet. Some discussions are going on that some
letters should be reduced or increased in Sindhi. However, the experts of
Sindhi language and linguists agree that the current Sindhi script is
standardized. A brief analysis has been made in this research paper.
