DevanÄ?garÄ« देवनागरी, pronounced /ËŒdeɪvəˈnÉ‘Ë?ɡəriË?/ in English1, or NÄ?garÄ«, is an abugida alphabet of India and Nepal. It is written from left to right, lacks distinct letter cases, and is recognizable by a distinctive horizontal line running along the tops of the letters that links them together. DevanÄ?garÄ« is the main script used to write Hindi, Marathi, and Nepali. Since the 19th century, it has been the most commonly-used script for Sanskrit and Pali. DevanÄ?garÄ« is also employed for Bhili, Bhojpuri, Konkani, Magahi, Maithili, Marwari, Newari, Pahari Garhwali and Kumaoni, Santhali, Tharu, and sometimes Sindhi, Panjabi, and Kashmiri. It was formerly used to write Gujarati. There are now some efforts underway to promote the DevanÄ?garÄ« script for Romany as well.

It is a descendant of the Gupta script, along with Siddham and Sharada. Eastern variants of Gupta called NÄ?garÄ« are first attested from the 8th century; from c. 1200 these gradually replaced Siddham, which survived as a vehicle for Tantric Buddhism in East Asia, and Sharada, which remained in parallel use in Kashmir. Sanskrit nÄ?garÄ« is the feminine of nÄ?gara urbane, a vrddhi adjectival form of nagara city. It is feminine from its original phrasing with lipi script as nÄ?garÄ« lipi urbane script, that is, the script of the cultured. There are several varieties of NÄ?garÄ« in use, one of which was distinguished by affixing Deva god or deity to form a tatpurusha compound meaning the urbane script of the gods, or divine urbane script. The use of the name DevanÄ?garÄ« is relatively recent, and the older term NÄ?garÄ« is still common. The rapid spread of the term DevanÄ?garÄ« may be related to the almost exclusive use of this script to publish sacred Sanskrit texts in colonial times. This has led to such a close connection between DevanÄ?garÄ« and Sanskrit that DevanÄ?garÄ« is now widely thought to be the Sanskrit script; however, before the colonial period there was no standard script for Sanskrit, which was written in whichever script was familiar to the local populace. Principles As a Brahmic abugida, the fundamental principle of DevanÄ?garÄ« is that each letter represents a consonant, which carries an inherent vowel a É™.2 For example, the letter क is read ka, the two letters कन are kana, the three कनय are kanaya, etc. Other vowels, or the absence of vowels, require modification of these consonants or their own letters: Consonant clusters are written with ligatures saṃyuktÄ?ká¹£ara conjuncts. For example, the three letters कनय kanaya may be joined to form कà¥?नय knaya, कनà¥?य kanya, or कà¥?नà¥?य knya. Vowels other than the inherent a are written with diacritics. From क ka we get के ke, कà¥? ku, की kÄ«, का kÄ?, etc. For vowels without a consonant, either at the beginning of a word or after another vowel, there are full letters. Thus while the vowel Å« is written with the diacritic ू in कू kÅ«, it has its own letter ऊ in ऊक Å«ka and कऊ kaÅ«. A final consonant is marked with the diacritic à¥?, called the virÄ?ma in Sanskrit, halanta in Hindi, and a killer stroke in English. This cancels the inherent vowel, so that from कà¥?नय knaya we get कà¥?नयà¥? knay. The halanta will often be used for consonant clusters when typesetting ligatures is not feasible. Such a letter or ligature, with its diacritics, is called an aká¹£ara syllable. For example, कनय kanaya is written with what are counted as three akshara, whereas कà¥?नà¥?य knya and कà¥? ku are each written with one. Letters Note: This page or section contains IPA phonetic symbols in Unicode. See Help:IPA for a pronunciation key. The letter order of DevanÄ?garÄ«, like nearly all Brahmi scripts, is based on phonetic principles which consider both the manner and place of articulation of the consonants and vowels they represent. This arrangement is usually referred to as the varṇamÄ?lÄ? garland of letters.3 The format of DevanÄ?garÄ« for Sanskrit serves as the prototype for its application, with minor variations or additions, to other languages.4 Vowels The vowels and their arrangement are:5 Independent form Romanized As diacritic with प Independent form Romanized As diacritic with प kaṇá¹hya Guttural अ a प आ Ä? पा tÄ?lavya Palatal इ i पि ई Ä« पी oá¹£á¹hya Labial उ u पà¥? ऊ Å« पू mÅ«rdhanya Cerebral ऋ á¹› पृ ॠá¹? पॄ dantya Dental ऌ ḷ पॢ ॡ ḹ पॣ kaṇá¹hatÄ?lavya Palato-Guttural à¤? e पे à¤? ai पै kaṇá¹hoá¹£á¹hya Labio-Guttural ओ o पो औ au पौ Arranged with the vowels are two consonantal diacritics, the final nasal anusvÄ?ra ं ṃ and the final fricative visarga ः ḥ called अं aṃ and अः aḥ. Masica 1991:146 notes of the anusvÄ?ra in Sankrit that there is some controversy as to whether it represents a homorganic nasal consonant ..., a nasalized vowel, a nasalized semivowel, or all these according to context. The visarga represents post-vocalic voiceless glottal fricative h, in Sanskrit an allophone of s, or less commonly r, usually in word-final position. Some traditions of recitation append an echo of the vowel after the breath:6 इः ihi. Masica 1991:146 considers the visarga along with letters ङ á¹…a and ञ ña for the largely predictable velar and palatal nasals to be examples of phonetic overkill in the system. Another diacritic is the candrabindu/anunÄ?sika à¤?. Salomon 2003:76-77 describes it as a more emphatic form of the anusvÄ?ra, sometimes ... used to mark a true vowel nasalization. In a New Indo-Aryan language such as Hindi the distinction is formal: the candrabindu indicates vowel nasalization7 while the anusvÄ?r indicates a homorganic nasal preceding another consonant:8 e.g. हà¤?सी ɦə̃si laughter, गंगा gəŋgÉ‘ Ganges. When an akshara has a vowel diacritic above the top line, that leaves no room for the candra moon stroke candrabindu, which is dispensed with in favour of the lone dot:9 हूà¤? ɦũ am, but हैं ɦɛ̃ are. Some writers and typesetters dispense with the moon stroke altogether, using only the dot in all situations.10 The avagraha ऽ usually transliterated with an apostrophe is a Sanskrit punctuation mark for the elision of a vowel in sandhi: à¤?कोऽयमà¥? ekoyam ekas + ayam this one. An original long vowel lost to coalescence is sometimes marked with a double avagraha: सदाऽऽतà¥?मा sadÄ?tmÄ? sadÄ? + Ä?tmÄ? always, the self.11 In Hindi, Snell 2000:77 states that its main function is to show that a vowel is sustained in a cry or a shout: आईऽऽऽ! Ä?īīī!. In Magahi, which has quite a number of verbal forms that end in that inherent vowel Verma 2003:501, the sadÄ?tmÄ? is used to mark the non-elision of word-final inherent a, which otherwise is a modern orthographic convention: बइठऽ baiá¹ha sit versus बइठbaiá¹h The syllabic consonants á¹?, ḷ, and ḹ are specific to Sanskrit and not included in the varṇamÄ?lÄ? of other languages. The sound represented by á¹› has been lost as well, and its pronunciation now ranges from ɾɪ Hindi to ɾu Marathi. ḹ is not an actual phoneme of Sanskrit, but rather a graphic convention included among the vowels in order to maintain the symmetry of short-long pairs of letters.4 There are non-regular formations of रà¥? ru and रू rÅ«. Consonants The consonants and their arrangement are:12 sparÅ›a Stop anunÄ?sika Nasal antastha Approximant ūṣma/saṃghashrÄ« Fricative Voicing → aghoá¹£a ghoá¹£a aghoá¹£a ghoá¹£a Aspiration → alpaprÄ?ṇa mahÄ?prÄ?ṇa alpaprÄ?ṇa mahÄ?prÄ?ṇa alpaprÄ?ṇa mahÄ?prÄ?ṇa kaṇá¹hya Guttural क ka /k/ ख kha /kʰ/ ग ga /g/ घ gha /gʱ/ ङ á¹…a /Å‹/ ह ha /h,ɦ/ tÄ?lavya Palatal च ca /c,ʧ/ छ cha /cʰ,ʧʰ/ ज ja /ÉŸ,ʤ/ à¤? jha /ɟʱ,ʤʱ/ ञ ña /ɲ/ य ya /j/ श Å›a /É•,ʃ/ mÅ«rdhanya Cerebral ट á¹a /ʈ/ ठá¹ha /ʈʰ/ ड á¸?a /É–/ ढ á¸?ha /ɖʱ/ ण ṇa /ɳ/ र ra /r/ ष á¹£a /Ê‚/ dantya Dental त ta /t̪/ थ tha /t̪ʰ/ द da /d̪/ ध dha /d̪ʱ/ न na /n/ ल la /l/ स sa /s/ oá¹£á¹hya Labial प pa /p/ फ pha /pʰ/ ब ba /b/ ठbha /bʱ/ म ma /m/ व va /Ê‹/ Rounding this out where applicable is ळ ḷa /ɺ̡/, which represented the intervocalic lateral flap allophone of the voiced retroflex stop in Vedic Sanskrit, and which is a phoneme in languages such as Marathi and Rajasthani. Beyond the Sanskritic set new shapes have rarely been formulated. Masica 1991:146 offers the following, In any case, according to some, all possible sounds had already been described and provided for in this system, as Sanskrit was the original and perfect language. Hence it was difficult to provide for or even to conceive other sounds, unknown to the phoneticians of Sanskrit. Where foreign borrowings and internal developments did inevitably accrue and arise in New Indo-Aryan languages, they have been either ignored in writing, or dealt through means such as diacritics and ligatures ignored in recitation. The most prolific diacritic has been the subscript nuqtÄ? ़. Hindi uses it for the Persian sounds क़ qa /q/, ख़ xa /x/, ग़ Ä¡a /É£/, ज़ za /z/, and फ़ fa /f/, and for the allophonic developments ड़ á¹›a /ɽ/ and ढ़ á¹›ha /ɽʱ/. Although ऴ ḷha /ɺ̡ʱ/ could also exist but there is no use of it in Hindi. Sindhi's implosives are accommodated with underlining ॒ : ग॒ É É™, ज॒ ʄə, ड॒ É—É™, ब॒ ɓə. Aspirated sonorants may be represented as conjuncts/ligatures with ह ha: मà¥?ह mha, नà¥?ह nha, णà¥?ह ṇha, वà¥?ह vha, लà¥?ह lha, ळà¥?ह ḷha, रà¥?ह rha. Masica 1991:147 notes Marwari as using a special symbol for á¸?a É—É™ while ड = ɽə. Conjuncts The ddhrya-ligature दà¥?धà¥?रà¥?य of JanaSanskritSans. The ddhrya-ligature दà¥?धà¥?रà¥?य of JanaSanskritSans. You will only be able to see the ligatures if your system has a Unicode font installed that includes the required ligature glyphs e.g. one of the TDIL fonts, see external links below. As mentioned, successive consonants lacking a vowel in between them may physically join together as a 'conjunct' or ligature. The government of these clusters ranges from widely to narrowly applicable rules, with special exceptions within. While standardized for the most part, there are certain variations in clustering, of which the Unicode used on this page is just one scheme. The following are a number of rules - 24 out of the 36 consonants contain a vertical right stroke ख, घ, ण etc.. As first or middle fragments/members of a cluster, they lose that stroke. e.g. त + व = तà¥?व, ण + ढ = णà¥?ढ, स + थ = सà¥?थ. श Å›a appears as a different, simple ribbon-shaped fragment preceding व va, न na, च ca, ल la, and र ra, squishing down these second members. Thus शà¥?व Å›va, शà¥?न Å›na, शà¥?च Å›ca शà¥?ल Å›la, and शà¥?र Å›ra. र ra as a first member it takes the form of a curved upward dash above the final character or its Ä?-diacritic. e.g. रà¥?व rva, रà¥?वा rvÄ?, रà¥?सà¥?प rspa, रà¥?सà¥?पा rspÄ?. As a final member with ट ठड ढ ङ छ it is two lines below the character, pointed downwards and apart. Thus टà¥?र ठà¥?र डà¥?र ढà¥?र ङà¥?र छà¥?र. Elsewhere as a final member it is a diagonal stroke jutting leftwards and down. e.g. कà¥?र गà¥?र à¤à¥?र. त ta is shifted up to make तà¥?र tra. As first members, remaining vertical stroke-less characters such as द da and ह ha may have their second member, shrunken and minus its horizontal stroke, placed underneath. क ka, छ cha, and फ pha shorten their right hooks and join them directly to the following member. The table below shows all the viable symbols for the biconsonantal clusters of Sanskrit as listed in Masica 1991:161-162.

Accent marks Main article: Vedic accent The pitch accent of Vedic Sanskrit is written with various symbols depending on shakha. In the Rigveda, anudÄ?tta is written with a bar below the line ॒, svarita with a stroke above the line ॑ while udÄ?tta is unmarked.

The most widely used transliteration method is IAST. However, there are other transliteration options. The following are the major transliteration methods for DevanÄ?garÄ«: ISO 15919 Main article: ISO 15919 A standard transliteration convention was codified in the ISO 15919 standard of 2001. It uses diacritics to map the much larger set of Brahmic graphemes to the Latin script. See also Transliteration of Indic scripts: how to use ISO 15919. The DevanÄ?garÄ«-specific portion is nearly identical to the academic standard for Sanskrit, IAST. IAST The International Alphabet of Sanskrit Transliteration IAST is the academic standard for the romanization of Sanskrit. IAST is the de-facto standard used in printed publications, like books and magazines, and with the wider availability of Unicode fonts, it is also increasingly used for electronic texts. It is based on a standard established by the Congress of Orientalists at Athens in 1912. The National Library at Kolkata romanization, intended for the romanization of all Indic scripts, is an extension of IAST. Harvard-Kyoto Compared to IAST, Harvard-Kyoto looks much simpler. It does not contain all the diacritic marks that IAST contains. This makes typing in Harvard-Kyoto much easier than IAST. Harvard-Kyoto uses capital letters that can be difficult to read in the middle of words. ITRANS ITRANS is a lossless transliteration scheme of DevanÄ?garÄ« into ASCII that is widely used on Usenet. It is an extension of the Harvard-Kyoto scheme. In ITRANS, the word DevanÄ?garÄ« is written as Devanaagarii. ITRANS is associated with an application of the same name that enables typesetting in Indic scripts. The user inputs in Roman letters and the ITRANS pre-processor displays the Roman letters into DevanÄ?garÄ« or other Indic languages. The latest version of ITRANS is version 5.30 released in July, 2001. ALA-LC Romanization ALA-LC romanization is a transliteration scheme approved by the Library of Congress and the American Library Association, and widely used in North American libraries. Transliteration tables are based on languages, so there is a table for Hindi, one for Sanskrit and Prakrit, etc. Encodings ISCII ISCII is a fixed-length 8-bit encoding. The lower 128 codepoints are plain ASCII, the upper 128 codepoints are ISCII-specific. It has been designed for representing not only DevanÄ?garÄ«, but also various other Indic scripts as well as a Latin-based script with diacritic marks used for transliteration of the Indic scripts. ISCII has largely been superseded by Unicode, which has however attempted to preserve the ISCII layout for its Indic language blocks.
