Editing Ol Chiki script (section)

== Mixing the two letter styles ==
Although Ol Chiki (Chapa) and Ol Chiki (Usara) are normally never mixed, and the original inventor never mentioned mixing these letter styles, there have been some works that mix both forms, using them like English capital and small letters. However, this innovation is yet to be accepted officially.<ref name=":0">{{Cite press release |last=Ajanta HC |location=Mumbai |date=2021-08-11 |title=Ol Chiki Lower Case Letters Invented by Sudip Iglesias Murmu |url=https://www.prlog.org/12881008-ol-chiki-lower-case-letters-invented-by-sudip-iglesias-murmu.html |access-date=2022-06-02 |website=PRLog |archive-date=2021-11-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211122214040/https://www.prlog.org/12881008-ol-chiki-lower-case-letters-invented-by-sudip-iglesias-murmu.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

=== The invention of a lower case for Ol Chiki  ===
Since 2017, Santali graphic designer, typographer, and film producer Sudip Iglesias Murmu has been working on design principles to provide a lowercase alphabet form for Ol Chiki, which would permit Ol Chiki writing and keyboarding to use a two-case, or bicameral, format (Using both uppercase and lowercase), as is done in many other written languages, including the Roman-alphabet languages such as English (all of which were once unicameral scripts, but evolved into a bicameral stage over time). As the development of a lowercase form is contributed to developing a standardized cursive form (in those writing systems which use one), the evolution of lowercase is likely to allow standardizing cursive to the point of making it type able alongside more rigid "block" printed letterforms forms So far, only Ol Chiki (Chapa) letters are used in keyboarding, typesetting, and publishing (in effect, producing capitals-only text for the entirety of all printed or keyboarded documents). In writing quickly by hand, Ol Chiki (Usara) is used: but, despite Ol Usara's potential for reaching high speed, the circulation of Ol Usara documents is negligible, and Ol Usara is yet to receive Unicode standardization, thus leaving it still neglected.

In hopes to remedy this situation and to harmonize the two scripts, Sudip Iglesias Murmu has innovated by creating a series of lowercase letters, which he has integrated with the already existing font of Ol Chiki. According to him, providing lowercase letters increases the efficiency of keyboarding, both for Ol Chiki (Chapa) and for Ol Chiki (Usara), and allows keyboarding to reach the same speed that can be obtained when typing Santali in Roman-alphabet letters, which are likewise case-sensitive. However, his work is yet to be accepted officially.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=2021-08-09 |title=Ol Chiki moulded into perfection by invention of lowercase letters - Ajanta Heritage & Culture |url=https://ajantahc.com/ol-chiki-moulded-into-perfection-by-invention-of-lowercase-letters |access-date=2022-06-02 |language=en-US |archive-date=2022-05-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220526232715/https://ajantahc.com/ol-chiki-moulded-into-perfection-by-invention-of-lowercase-letters |url-status=live }}</ref>
