Kaithi
Kaithi, also called "Kayathi" or "Kayasthi", is the name of a historical script used widely in parts of North India, primarily in the former North-Western Provinces, Awadh and Bihar. It was used for writing legal, administrative, and private records.〔King, Christopher R. 1995. ''One Language, Two Scripts: The Hindi Movement in Nineteenth Century North India.'' New York: Oxford University Press.〕 ==Etymology==
Kaithi script derives its name from the word Kayastha, a social group of India that traditionally consists of administrators and accountants.〔Grierson, George A. 1899. ''A Handbook to the Kaithi Character.'' Calcutta: Thacker, Spink & Co.〕 The Kayastha community was closely associated with the princely courts and colonial governments of North India, and were employed by them to write and maintain records of revenue transactions, legal documents, and title deeds; general correspondence; and proceedings of the royal courts and related bodies.〔Pandey, Anshuman. 2008. "Proposal to Encode the Kaithi Script in ISO/IEC 10646" ()〕 The script used by them acquired the name Kaithi.
