'''[[Karbi language]]''' is officially written in Roman script in [[Karbi Anglong district|Karbi Anglong]] and Dima Hasao districts of [[Assam]], [[Meghalaya]] and [[Arunachal Pradesh]]. However, in Kamrup district of Assam prefer mostly the Assamese script.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The written form of the Karbi language has been in development since the time of [[British raj|British rule]] in India when missionaries published the first Karbi newspaper '''Birta''' in 1903,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://allaboutassam.in/2018/12/karbi-language/ |title=Karbi Language &#91;The Rich&#93; ยป ALL ABOUT ASSAM |access-date=2019-08-19 |archive-date=2019-04-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190414194516/https://allaboutassam.in/2018/12/karbi-language/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> in English (Roman Script). Since then Karbi language is being written in both Purvi Nagari script and Roman script. The Karbi Lammet Amei (Apex body of [[Karbi language]]) earlier adopted the Assamese (Purvi Nagari) script to write the Karbi language, but later changed to [[Latin script|Roman script]].<br />

==Research on Karbi script and language==<br />
Since old days [[Karbi people]] has no written form. Karbis has passed their tradition orally from generation to generation. The new generations are trying to preserve them in written form, as well coining new words to compensate for missing word they have come across in new age. i.e.- bus, train, etc. Media houses has been at the forefront of the event.<br />
<br />
In recent trend, a section of [[Karbi people]] think that [[Karbi language]] should have its own script. In one case, Sarthe Teron Milik, Writer, introduced a new series of Karbi alphabets and numerals in his book, Arleng [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Arleng.pdf].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://arlengalam.wordpress.com|title=arlengalam|website=arlengalam.wordpress.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author= Sarthe Teron Milik| url=https://pothi.com/pothi/book/sarthe-teron-milik-arleng|title=Review of ARLENG|website=pothi.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://thekararnivang.com/2011/12/20/karbi-alam-ketok-kejoi-pen-kapangcho-aphan-amek-script-kangvai-pen-kapithir-kenangsotlo/|title=Karbi alam ketok kejoi pen kapangcho aphan amek (Script) kangvai pen kapithir kenangsotlo - Thekar|website=thekararnivang.com|access-date=2016-08-30|archive-date=2016-09-11|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160911113238/http://thekararnivang.com/2011/12/20/karbi-alam-ketok-kejoi-pen-kapangcho-aphan-amek-script-kangvai-pen-kapithir-kenangsotlo/|url-status=dead}}</ref><br />
