The Limbu script (also Sirijanga script) is used to write the Limbu language. It is a Brahmic type abugida. History The Limbu script was invented in the 18th century by Limbu monk and scholar Te-ongsi Sirijunga Xin Thebe, in order to give the Limbu a distinct medium to commit their oral tradition to writing. He claimed that the script was used in late first millennium and that he had only rediscovered it, but no text from before the 18th century has been discovered. It was likely invented as an act of defiance. Accounts with Sirijunga The Limbu language is one of the few Sino-Tibetan languages of the Central Himalayas to possess their own scripts.
