The Oriya script is used to write the Oriya language, and can be used for several other Indian languages, for example, Sanskrit.

Though the cursive shape might appear to suggest influence from southern Brahmic scripts like Tamil or Malayalam, it is thought that this appearance was the result of the long-standing practice of writing manuscripts on palm leaves with a pointed stylus, which have a tendency to tear if too many straight lines are made on the surface.[1]

Oriya is a syllabic alphabet or an abugida wherein all consonants have an inherent vowel embedded within. Diacritics, which can appear above, below, before or after the consonant they belong to, are used to change the form of the inherent vowel. When the diacritics appear at the beginning of a syllable, vowels are written as independent letters. Also, when certain consonants occur together, special conjunct symbols are used which combine the essential parts of each consonant symbol.

The Unicode range for Oriya is U+0B00 ... U+0B7F.
