The Sorang Sompeng (Sora (Sorang Sompeng): 𑃐𑃦𑃝𑃗 𑃐𑃦𑃖𑃛𑃣𑃗) script is a modern (of early- to mid-20th century provenance) constructed writing system used to write Sora, a Munda language with approximately 300,000 speakers—the indigenous, Austroasiatic-speaking Sora people (alternatively named, and the word Sora alternatively spelled or romanized, Saura, Saora, Savara, and Sabara) of primarily coastal southern and eastern India. The script was created by the self-taught scholar and Sora activist Mangei Gomango in 1936 and is used primarily in religious contexts,[1] akin to a liturgical language, in the rites of the Matar Banom (or Matharvanam) neo-animist religious movement of the Sora. To a far lesser, though still significant extent, Sorang Sompeng is learned, taught, read, and written for secular educational and literary purposes in Sora communities, primarily in the Indian states of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh.
The Sora language is also written in the Latin, Odia, and Telugu scripts.[2]
