TANILIPI is a SCIENTIFIC & INDIGENOUS Script which was invented by an Indigenous Social Scientist named Dr.Tony Koyu on 2nd June 2000. Tanilipi is an alphabetic typing and writing system specially designed for promotion and preservation of Tani Language which is on the verge of going into oblivion. But now,onadvent of Tanilipi the descendants of Abo Tani viz: Adi, Nyishi, Galo, Tagin, Apatani, Mishing, etc can very easily unite to get recognition of “Tani-Language” as their official common language by the Central Government of India as per 8th Schedule of Indian Constitution. Tani Language is a part of Tibeto-Burman languages group spoken in the Indian states of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam in North Eastern Region of India. Now we have both common script and common language by way of adopting Tanilipi and Tani Language to switch over from oral tradition to own writing and typing systems. Therefore, Tanilipi is not a mere writing script but it’s our pride and identify. Its our invaluable common intellectual property. This is the LAST HOPE to restore our language from going into oblivion. But unless you practice our posterity may not inherit this precious GIFT.
Although a multifaceted personality in the state of Arunachal Pradesh of India but best known as the “Inventor of Tanilipi” (a scientific script of Arunachal Pradesh) to promote and preserve Tani Language before going into oblivion:-
- A Visionary Indigenous leader: to get recognised “TANI LANGUAGE” as common official language of Tani-speaking tribes to be enshrined in the 8th Schedule of Indian Constitution.
- His vision to found “Tani Bhasa Sahitya Sabha” (a conglomeration of 13 Lakh Tani speaking tribes especially Adi, Nyishi, Galo, Tagin, Apatani and Mishing etc) of both the neighbouring states of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam shall act as the vibrant “Non- Government Organization” to popularise Tani language in Tanilipi, create social harmony, tribal unification and honour the Learned people of Tani descendants.
- Advent of Tanilipi and Tani language would encompass “Renaissance of Tani Language and Literature” thereby restore a dying Tani Culture and Language from evitable extinction.
- Then only we can get rid of Social stigmas like: “A Society devoid of own script and language is deemed as tail less animal.”
- To open flood gates of sustainable development and assured tribal employment in Government and private sectors with the help of Tanilipi and Tani Language as Government would then create Tani Language department in capital region and all district headquarters, Universities, Colleges, Schools, besides training institutes and other coaching and typing institutions etc would flourish along with indigenous author, lyricists, poets, composers and many more.
Dr Tony Koyu has already shown the enlightened path as he has already authored and published Tani Language Novels and other books (Adi & Galo), including two one Novel in Hindi.
