The Gunjala Gondi lipi (Southern Gondi: šµ¶š¶š¶š¶šµµš¶ šµ¶š¶š¶š¶š¶ šµµš¶š¶ š¶) or Koytura Gunjala Lipi (Southern Gondi: šµ±š¶šµ£šµ³š¶š¶ šµ¶š¶š¶š¶šµµš¶ šµµš¶š¶ š¶), is a script used to write the Southern Gondi language, a Dravidian language spoken by the Gond people of northern Telangana, eastern Maharashtra, southeastern Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh. Approximately a dozen manuscripts in the script were recovered from Gunjala, a Gond village in Adilabad district of Telangana, by a team of researchers from the University of Hyderabad, led by Professor Jayadheer Tirumala Rao. The script and preliminary font were unveiled in early 2014.
