Saurashtra is a script used to write the Saurashtra language. Its usage has declined and Tamil script and Latin are now used more commonly.
The Saurashtra Language is written in its own script. Because this is a minority language not taught in schools, people learn to write in Sourashtra Script through Voluntary Organisations like Sourashtra Vidya Peetam, Madurai. Recently, the First Electronic journal in Sourashtram has been started and it can be reached by visiting http://www.sourashtra.info A site is also available to practice writing in Sourashtra Script by visiting http://www.palkarblogs.com Now people evince more interest to write in Sourashtra Script and the number of users are increasing. Sourashtra is the popular spelling and it refers to both the Sourashtra language and a person who speaks Sourashtram. Saurashtra is an area in Gujarat State in India, from where the present Sourashtras in Tamil Nadu traditionally believed to have migrated some centuries back.
