Dear all, I hope this message finds you well. We are excited to announce the launch of the Indic writing systems campaign 2025 <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Writing_Systems/Indic_writing_systems_campaign_2025>, which will take place from 23 January 2025 (World Endangered Writing Day) to 21 February 2025 (International Mother Language Day). This initiative is part of the ongoing efforts of WikiProject writing Systems <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Writing_Systems> to raise awareness about the documentation and revitalization of writing systems, many of which are currently underrepresented or endangered.
Representatives from important organizations that work with writing systems, such as Endangered Alphabets and the Script Encoding Initiative, support the campaign. The campaign will feature two primary activities focused on the list of target scripts <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Writing_Systems/Indic_writing_systems_campaign_2025/Lists> : Wikidata Labelathon: A focused effort to improve and expand the information related to South Asian scripts on Wikidata. Wikipedia Translatathon: A collaborative activity aimed at enhancing the coverage of South Asian writing systems and their cultural significance on Wikipedia. We are looking for local organizers to engage their respective communities. If you are interested in organizing, kindly sign-up here <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Writing_Systems/Indic_writing_systems_campaign_2025/Local_Organizers>. We encourage all participants to join us <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Writing_Systems/Indic_writing_systems_campaign_2025/Participate> in this important campaign to help document and celebrate the diverse writing systems of South Asia. Thank you for your support, and we look forward to your active participation. Regards, Navya sri Kalli
