🌿 Get to Know Us

Welcome to Tamyik.com – a community-driven digital initiative dedicated to reviving, preserving, and promoting the Tamang script and broader indigenous knowledge systems.

We are more than just a platform — we are the living memory of our ancestors. Our mission is rooted in the belief that language and script are vessels of culture, identity, and ancestral wisdom. By bringing Tamang Lipi (Tamyik) into digital life, we honor the voices of the past while empowering the voices of the future.

Our work is deeply influenced by the contributions of Wanju Wayba, a cultural activist, script developer, and champion of indigenous knowledge. Through his dedication, tools like the Tamyik Lipi Converter were made possible — not just as a utility, but as a symbol of resistance, memory, and resilience.

Wanju’s involvement in the Nepali indigenous movement, including his efforts to preserve scripts like Srijanga (Limbu), Rong (Lepcha), and Tirhuta (Maithili), reflects a broader vision: to archive endangered scripts before they fade from living memory.

We recognize that every character, every glyph in our scripts is a story — of migration, spirituality, tradition, and resistance. By digitizing these scripts and making them accessible, we aim to keep these memories alive and pass them on to the next generation.

Tamyik.com is not just about scripts — it’s about identity, memory, and cultural survival in the digital age.
