Yikvot

Yikvot is a home for Kaeshur: the Kashmiri language, its literature, and the people who live in it.

Whether you write verse, read the old masters, or just want to think and talk in Kaeshir zabaan, Yikvot brings it together — with a proper Kashmiri keyboard, Nastaliq typography, and a community that speaks your language.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Write in Koshur: an authoritative Kashmiri keyboard with the full set of letters and diacritics, in flowing Nastaliq. Switch between Kashmiri and English mid-sentence.

• Share & discover: post verses, thoughts and lines; admire, comment and repost. Follow poets, readers and friends.

• Kutub Khaan'e: read Kashmiri books and poetry, chapter by chapter, in a clean, distraction-free reader.

• Opinions: say what you think of a book, recommend the ones worth reading, and discuss them.

• Spaces: host a space and take questions, or ask a poet or scholar directly.

• The Paper: essays and articles on Kashmiri language, culture and kalaam.

• Word of the Day: grow your Koshur, one word at a time.

Built with care for how Kashmiri should look and read, right-to-left done properly, Nastaliq throughout, and a keyboard that respects the script.

In conversation of Kaeshir Zabaan and Kalaam.
