Sorang Sompeng script is used to write in Sora, a Munda language with 273,911 speakers in India. The script was created by Mangei Gomango in 1936 and is used in religious contexts [1]. He was familiar with Oriya, Telugu and English, so the parent systems of the script are Brahmi and Latin.[2]

Sorang Sompeng script is included in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane of the beta released Unicode Standard version 6.1.0.[1] [3]

The Sora language is also written in the Latin alphabet and the Telugu script.
