Saurashtra for Gujarati (ꢱꣃꢬꢵꢰ꣄ꢜ꣄ꢬ ꢭꢶꢦꢶ)

Saurashtra for Gujarati is a way to write the Gujarati language with the Saurashtra script, which was created for Saurashtra in the 19th century. It was devised by Aahan Kotian, who was inspired by knowing that Saurashtra is descended from the speech of Gujarati immigrants who settled in Tamil Nadu in the 16th century. It is how Aahan imagined Gujarati would look like if it was written in a South Indian style script. He also firmly believes that the valuable heritage of the Saurashtra script should be preserved and protected for future generations and that this may help in some small way to bring more attention to it.
