ABOUT







Devanagari

Devanagari is the most frequently used Northern Indic scripts. It is utilised to write Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, Kashmiri, Bihari, Rajasthani, as well as some minority languages. It is also the script most often used for writing Sanskrit, the ancient predecessor of Modern Hindi. All modern-day Indic scripts are descendants of Brahmi, an extinct script which flourished more than two thousand years ago. Over the centuries, the descendants of Brahmi divided into two groups, one for writing the northern Indic, mainly Indo-Aryan languages, the other for the southern Indic, or Dravidian, languages.
