Yikvot

Yikvot is a home for Kaeshur, the Kashmiri language, and for the Kalaam written in it. Read it, write it, learn it, and share it with people who care about keeping it alive. WRITE IN KAESHUR A Nastaliq keyboard built for Kashmiri, with the characters the language actually needs not borrowed from another script. Write in Kaeshur or English and Yikvot renders each line in its own direction, in proper, unclipped Nastaliq. A WORD EVERY DAY Learn Kaeshur one word at a time from a dictionary of over a thousand words, each with its meaning and romanisation. Build a daily streak, save words to My Words, and test what stuck with a quiz. A gentle morning reminder keeps the habit going. KUTUB KHAAN'E - THE LIBRARY A curated library of Kashmiri literature. Read in a calm, distraction-free reader with paper, sepia and dark themes, adjustable text size, bookmarks, and offline reading. Found a line worth keeping? Share it as a beautifully typeset card, or post it so others can tap straight through to that exact page. OPINIONS Discuss what you read. Write an opinion on a book, reply in threads, vote on the takes that resonate, and recommend what deserves to be read next. SPACES Live rooms for questions, poetry and conversation hosted gatherings with the people reading and writing Kaeshur today. THE PAPER Essays and writing on Kashmiri language, literature and culture. A COMMUNITY Follow poets, readers and writers. Share verse, thoughts and photographs. Build a shelf of everything you've read and watch it grow as you go. A language lives when it is used, spoken, written, read, argued over, and handed on. Yikvot is built for that.
