This page offers basic guidance on typesetting a LaTeX document in the Santali language using the Ol Chiki script.

Support with ini locale file

Here is a minimal sample file with santali as the main language (assuming luatex, which is the recommended engine, and babel ≥24.14, although it may work with previous versions).

\documentclass[santali]{article}

\usepackage[provide={mapdigits}]{babel}

\babelfont{rm}{Noto Sans Ol Chiki}

% The next 2 lines make sure the Latin script is displayed.
\babelprovide[onchar=fonts letters]{english}
\babelfont[english]{rm}{NewComputerModern10}

\begin{document}

Local name $=$ ᱥᱟᱱᱛᱟᱲᱤ

Today $=$ \today

Digits $=$ \localenumeral{digits}{0123456789}

\end{document}

You may need download the font or replace it with another one in your system.
