Tankri Ka Itihas

Ek script jo 20+ Pahari bhashaon ki awaaz thi — aur ab digital ho rahi hai

Tankri Kya Hai?

Tankri (ya Takri) ek abugida writing system hai — Brahmic family ki script. Ye Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab aur Uttarakhand ke pahari ilakon mein 16th se 19th century tak use hoti thi.

Ye script Chambeali, Dogri, Gaddi, Kulvi, Mandyali aur 20 se zyada Pahari bhashaon ke liye use hoti thi. Business records, administrative documents, land grants, aur religious texts — sab Tankri mein likhe jaate the.

Himachal Pradesh mein aaj bhi ek kahawat hai: "Kya Tankri likhi hai?" — matlab "kya ulta-seedha likha hai?" Irony ye hai ki jo script kabhi 20+ bhashaon ki awaaz thi, aaj "ulti likhawat" ka metaphor ban gayi.
