Oriya

Oriya is the official language of the Indian state of Orissa.

The Oriya script, which like all Nagari writing systems is strictly speaking an abugida rather than an alphabet, is used to write the Oriya language, Adivasi Oriya, Duruwa, Ho (Orissa), Khondi (Kui), Koya, and Santali. It somewhat resembles Devanagari and Bengali scripts. Its numerical digits are somewhat different from their Devanagari counterparts.
