'''Mundari Bani Hisir''' (Mundari: ''Bani'' 'alphabet', ''Hisir'' 'writing', also known as'''Mundari Bani''') writing system or, sometimes as the '''Mundari alphabet''', is the official writing system for the [[Mundari language]] from India. Mundari is an [[Austroasiatic languages|Austroasiatic]] language. The Mundari Bani Hisir has 27 letters and five diacritics, the forms of which are intended to evoke natural shapes. The script is written from [[Writing_system#Directionality|left to right]]. |

[[File:MundariLanguageScript.jpg|thumb|Mundari Bani (Mundari Script)]] Community elder and author [[Rohidas Singh Nag]] invented and published the [[alphabet]]ic writing system—Mundari Bani—in late 1980, and has seen limited but increasing use in literature, education, and computing. |

==History== |
|||
Rohidas Singh Nag invented the initial characters of the ''Mundari bani hisir'' in 1949 which he wrote on the walls using clay. He finished all the 35 characters in 1953. He further simplified the alphabet in 1980 by reducing it to a total of 27 characters. Nag presented the alphabet to then-[[Chief Minister of Odisha]] [[Janaki Ballabh Patnaik]] and submitted a memorandum to recognize the Munda language constitutionally. Nag along with others submitted a memorandum to the then [[president of India]] in 1999 appealing again for the constitutional recognition. "Mundari Samaj Sanwar Jamda", a social organisation of the Munda community based in Poda Astia, [[Mayurbhanj district|Mayurbhanj]] has been demanding to incorporate the [[Munda language]] in the [[Eighth Schedule to the Constitution of India]], to air [[Munda language]] through [[All India Radio]], and establish a [[Munda language]] department at [[North Odisha University]] for higher studies on the basis of the writing system and literature.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.stscodisha.gov.in/pdf/June-Dec-2012-Vol-1-2.pdf | title = page no.96, Adivasi, A Journal of Scheduled Castes & Scheduled Tribes Research and Training Institute (SCSTRTI)| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20161108183956/http://www.stscodisha.gov.in/pdf/June-Dec-2012-Vol-1-2.pdf| archive-date = 8 November 2016}}</ref> |
