dbpprop:abstract
  • Mithilakshar or Tirhuta is the script traditionally used for the Maithili language, an Indo-European language spoken in the Indian state of Bihar and eastern Nepal. The language has a rich history spanning thousands of years, but years of official neglect by the Bihar government and migration have taken their toll on the use of Mithilakshar. Most speakers of the language have switched to using the Devanagari script, which is also used to write neighboring Central Indic languages to the west such as Hindi. As a result, the number of people with a working knowledge of Mithilakshar has dropped considerably in recent years.
