Development and Implementation of Bhadarwahi Qaida for Language Preservation in Hindi and Urdu Scripts

This paper explores the development of the Bhadarwahi Qaida to preserve the Bhadarwahi language, spoken by over 120,000 people in Jammu and Kashmir. Addressing the lack of a standardized script, the author derived eight new Devanagari and six Nastaliq letters, enabling writing in Hindi and Urdu. Methods include subconscious inspiration and linguistic integration, with the Qaida published on January 18, 2021. Findings suggest improved readability and potential for dialect preservation, though financial constraints limit distribution. Recommendations include government support and digital integration.
