Nawayathi, also spelled Nawayati, is a language similar to Konkani spoken by Nawayaths of the southwestern coast of India. It is an amalgam of Persian, Arabic and Marathi, with Konkani as its base.[1] The Nawayathi language uses Persian script for writing.
Proposed Inclusion of Nawayathi Script in Unicode
[edit ]
In 2019, initiatives were undertaken to preserve the Nawayathi language and prevent its extinction through the inclusion of three additional characters in the Nawayathi script. A prototype keyboard incorporating these characters was also introduced to the public to facilitate digital use and promote the language's vitality.[2]
