Editing Odia script (section)

== Comparison of Odia script with ancestral script ==

Odia letters are mostly round shaped whereas sister scripts from [[Siddhaṃ script|Siddhaṃ]] have horizontal lines. So in most cases the reader of Odia will find the related distinctive parts of the letter only below the curved hoop.
