The '''Sorang Sompeng''' ([[Sora language|Sora]] <small>(''Sorang Sompeng'')</small>: ππ¦ππ ππ¦πππ£π) [[Handwriting script|script]] is a modern (of early- to mid-20th century provenance) [[Constructed writing system|constructed]] writing system used to write [[Sora language|Sora]], a [[Munda languages|Munda language]] with approximately 300,000 speakersβthe indigenous, Austroasiatic-speaking [[Sora people]] (alternatively named, and the word ''Sora'' alternatively spelled or [[romanized]], ''Saura'', ''Saora'', ''Savara'', and ''Sabara'') of primarily coastal [[Southern India|southern]] and [[Eastern India|eastern]] India. The script was created by the self-taught scholar and Sora activist [[Mangei Gomango]] in 1936 and is used primarily in religious contexts,<ref name="L209189">{{Cite web |last=Everson |first=Michael |date=8 June 2009 |title=Unicode.org |url=https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2009/09189r-n3647r-sora-sompeng.pdf |access-date=21 September 2024 |website=[[Unicode.org]]}}</ref> akin to a [[liturgical language]], in the rites of the Matar Banom (or Matharvanam) neo-[[Animism|animist]] religious movement of the Sora.
