What is "Devanagari"?

Devanagari is a writing system used for several languages in South Asia, including Hindi, Sanskrit, Marathi, and Nepali. It is an alphabetic script that combines consonants and vowels to form syllables. Each character represents a specific sound, with vowels often attached to consonants in various forms. For example, the consonant "क" (ka) can be combined with the vowel "ि" (i) to form "कि" (ki). Devanagari is written from left to right and has a distinctive horizontal line running across the top of the letters. This script is significant in the cultural and linguistic heritage of India and Nepal, serving as a key tool for communication and literature in the region.
