The mother tongue of this community called 'Rang' is called 'Rangalo'. There is no script of this ancient language, it is practiced only through speaking. Like Diwan Singh, the language professor at Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), Sandesh Rayapa Garbayal, is also troubled by this problem. She too belongs to the Rang community, but after reading an article on the Rang community, she was so distraught that she took the initiative to revive the language.

Professor Sandesh says, "In that article, there were false facts about the color community and their culture. At such moments we realize the importance of documents. ' After this, Sandesh appealed to other people of the community to join together. Soon many WhatsApp groups were formed where people started posting audio recordings in Rangalo language. Some people started writing posts in Rangalo on Twitter and Facebook.

"There are about 10,000 members in the Rang community, most of whom live in Pithoragarh district of Uttarakhand and parts of Nepal," says BS Bonal, president of Rang Kalyan Sansthan. In India, Rang has the status of a Scheduled Tribe as a sub-caste of the Bhotia tribe. Bonal relates the genesis of the Rang tribe with a legend, 'When the Pandavas were on a journey to the Himalayas they reached the village of Kuti where they were welcomed by the Rang clan. The village was named Kuti after his mother Kunti.

In the year 2018, ONGC funded Ryapa's project for the conservation of Rangalo. The biggest problem in the preservation of any language is not being scripted. But the script is also not easy to prepare. Rayapa says, 'The first challenge is the choice of script for this language. After this, talk to the people of the community and prepare its dictionary. Young people are demanding to write it in Roman while the elders are insisting on producing it in Devanagari script. But people are currently using both methods.
