Handwriting plays an important role in personal identification and forensic document examination. The study of discrimination of handwriting between bilingual writers in regional language and English focuses on identifying the differences and similarities in writing patterns produced by the same individual in two different languages. Bilingual writers often use distinct writing styles, letter formations, spacing patterns, slant, pressure, and stroke movements depending on the language being written. These variations may occur due to differences in script structure, writing habits, educational background, and language familiarity.This research aims to analyze the characteristic features of handwriting in both English and a regional language to determine whether the writer maintains consistent individual traits across languages. The study also examines how natural variations influence handwriting identification and the challenges faced in forensic comparison when multiple scripts are involved. Samples collected from bilingual writers are carefully observed using parameters such as alignment, pen pressure, connecting strokes, speed, size of letters, and rhythm of writing. The findings of the study help in understanding the uniqueness of bilingual handwriting and its application in forensic science, criminal investigations, signature verification, and document authentication. The research concludes that although handwriting may vary between languages, certain individual characteristics remain consistent and can assist experts in identifying the writer accurately.
