Santali Names for Various Plant species
I have added some Names of Plants in the Santali language with the Ol Chiki script along with its transcription. Ol Chiki is now used as an official script for writing Santali Language. I have tried to add as many as references to satisfy my correctness of research.
Also, I have done one thing – I have omitted “dare” from the names of various plant names given in the references. Meaning of dare is Tree. So, in order to exclude unnecessary repetition. I have omitted “dare”. I have marked the star where I have removed the word dare.
Hope it helps.
Hope it helps.
