Yikvot is a home for Kaeshur, the Kashmiri language, and for the Kalaam written in it.
Read it, write it, learn it, and share it with people who care about keeping it alive.
WRITE IN KAESHUR
A Nastaliq keyboard built for Kashmiri, with the characters the language actually needs not borrowed from another script. Write in Kaeshur or English and Yikvot renders each line in its own direction, in proper, unclipped Nastaliq.
A WORD EVERY DAY
Learn Kaeshur one word at a time from a dictionary of over a thousand words, each with its meaning and romanisation. Build a daily streak, save words to My Words, and test what stuck with a quiz. A gentle morning reminder keeps the habit going.
KUTUB KHAAN'E - THE LIBRARY
A curated library of Kashmiri literature. Read in a calm, distraction-free reader with paper, sepia and dark themes, adjustable text size, bookmarks, and offline reading. Found a line worth keeping? Share it as a beautifully typeset card, or post it so others can tap straight through to that exact page.
OPINIONS
Discuss what you read. Write an opinion on a book, reply in threads, vote on the takes that resonate, and recommend what deserves to be read next.
SPACES
Live rooms for questions, poetry and conversation hosted gatherings with the people reading and writing Kaeshur today.
THE PAPER
Essays and writing on Kashmiri language, literature and culture.
A COMMUNITY
Follow poets, readers and writers. Share verse, thoughts and photographs. Build a shelf of everything you've read and watch it grow as you go.
A language lives when it is used, spoken, written, read, argued over, and handed on. Yikvot is built for that.
Ratings & Reviews
Reposts now show up in the feed. When someone reposts a piece, it appears as "Name reposted" with the original underneath, so good writing travels further.
A smarter feed. Brand-new posts get the top spot for their first couple of minutes, then the feed settles by admiration, so the pieces people love most rise to the top instead of just the latest ones.
More control over comments. Edit your own comments (Kaeshur keyboard included), delete any comment on your posts, and report anything that doesn't belong.
Mehfil cards, made for sharing. Long couplets no longer get cut off. A Mehfil card is now a clean bubble that fits every line, ready for WhatsApp and Instagram.
Sign in with Google now always lets you choose which account to use.
Also in this release: clearer password guidance when creating an account, a fix for opening other people's Spaces, chat photos visible only to the two people in the conversation, and the app no longer asks for microphone access it never used.
