XenoType Technologies is the first to provide
Unicode support for the Limbu script (also known as Kiranti and
Sirijunga) on any computing environment. The Limbu script is used
to write Limbu, a minority language spoken predominantly in Nepal
and parts of India.
There are several Limbu fonts available on the Internet but
our support includes a new font, designed from scratch to match
the overall look and feel of the base font provided in most of
our products while still maintaining the unique characteristics
of the script.
This unique script has gone through
some changes in the past few decades but it is once again becoming
a viable means of communication for Limbu speakers. There is currently
work in progress to establish an online resource for Limbu materials
to help preserve the language, its heritage and future development.
We wholeheartedly support this effort, spearheaded by native
Limbus, and have committed to providing our Limbu Language
Kit at no cost to any person or organization with the
same goals in mind (contact
us here to find out if you qualify). Other interested parties
who wish to use the kit for commercial purposes can purchase the
kit for $19 USD with all proceeds going to benefit the efforts
of these various organizations.
