Learn Santalifor real life

Santali is mainly written in Ol Chiki, a script created for the language by Pandit Raghunath Murmu in 1925. It has also been written in Devanagari, Bengali, Odia and Latin scripts.

Santali is a Munda language of the Austroasiatic family, so it is not closely related to Hindi or to the Dravidian languages of South India.
