The Devanagari Script. The Devanagari Script (देवनागरी लिपि) is the most impressive writing system that I have ever studied.
It impresses me for many reasons, for instance: The ordering of the letters is according to precise scientific principles.Each letter transcribes a distinct sound.It recognizes subtle distinctions in sound. I also find Devanagari to be a very beautiful script. Note that this article will discuss the Devanagari Script as it is adapted for the Hindi language. The Ordering of Letters In order to appreciate the significance of the ordering of letters in Devanagari, some background information is necessary.

Handwritten Script. Transcription et construction syllabes. Devanagari. Origins[edit] Devanagari is part of the Brahmic family of scripts of Nepal, India, Tibet, and South-East Asia.[4] It is a descendant of the Gupta script, along with Siddham and Sharada.[4] Eastern variants of Gupta called nāgarī are first attested from the 7th century CE; from c. 1200 CE these gradually replaced Siddham, which survived as a vehicle for Tantric Buddhism in East Asia, and Sharada, which remained in parallel use in Kashmir.
An early version of Devanagari is visible in the Kutila inscription of Bareilly dated to Vikram Samvat 1049 (i.e. 992 CE), which demonstrates the emergence of the horizontal bar to group letters belonging to a word.[1] nāgarī is the Sanskrit feminine of nāgara "relating or belonging to a town or city". It is feminine from its original phrasing with lipi ("script") as nāgarī lipi "script relating to a city", that is, probably from its having originated in some city.[5] Devanagari text from Vayu Puran Principle[edit] Letters[edit] Vowels[edit] Consonants[edit]
