Warang Chiti (also written Varang Kshiti; Ho: ๐‘ขน๐‘ฃ—๐‘ฃ๐‘ฃœ๐‘ฃŠ ๐‘ฃ๐‘ฃ‚๐‘ฃ•๐‘ฃ‚โ€Ž, IPA: [wษrษล‹ สงษชtฬชษช]) is a writing system invented by Lako Bodra for the Ho language spoken in East India. It is used in primary and adult education and in various publications.

It has mainly gained acceptance among the easternmost group of speakers, and is more prevalent among those who have been educated in it. Many other speakers prefer oral transmission of knowledge, Devanagari, or Latin, but Warang Chiti holds prestige among many Ho speakers.
