Devanāgarī is part of the Brahmic family of scripts of India, Nepal, Tibet, and South-East Asia. It is a descendant of the Gupta script, along with Siddham and Sharada. Eastern variants of Gupta called Nāgarīare first attested from the 8th century; from c. 1200 these gradually replaced Siddham, which survived as a vehicle for Tantric Buddhism in Ea...
As a Brahmic abugida, the fundamental principle of Devanāgarī is that each letter represents a consonant, which carries an inherent schwa vowel a [ə]. 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:...
The letter order of Devanāgarī, 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 varṇamālā"garland of letters". The format of Devanāgarī for Sanskrit serves as the prototype for its appl...
There are several methods of transliteration from Devanāgarī into Roman scripts. The most widely used transliteration method is IAST. However, there are other transliteration options. The following are the major transliteration methods for Devanāgarī:
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 Devanāgarī, 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 ISCII has largely been superseded by Unicode, which has however attempted to preserve the ISCII layout for its Indic language blocks.
Devanāgarī in Unicode
The Unicode ranges for Devanāgarī are available in the three blocks U+0900 .. U+097F, U+1CD0 .. U+1CFF and U+A8E0 .. U+A8FF. Grey areas indicate non-assigned code points.
Microsoft Windows supports the INSCRIPT layout (using the Mangal font), which can be used to input unicode Devanāgarī characters.
Principles. The Devanāgarī writing system can be called an abugida, as each consonant has an inherent vowel (a), that can be changed with the different vowel signs. Devanāgarī is written from left to right. A top line linking characters is thought to represent the line of the page with characters historically being written under the line.
The name Devanāgarī is made up of two Sanskrit words: deva, which means god, brahman or celestial, and nāgarī, which means city. The name is variously translated as "script of the city", "heavenly/sacred script of the city" or " [script of the] city of the Gods or priests".
