Devanagari ( ; in script: , , ) is an Indic script used in the Indian subcontinent. It is a left-to-right abugida (a type of segmental writing system), based on the ancient Brāhmī script. It is one of the official scripts of India and Nepal. It was developed in, and was in regular use by, the 8th century CE. It had achieved its modern form by 1000 CE. The Devanāgarī script, composed of 48 primary characters, including 14 vowels and 34 consonants, is the fourth most widely adopted writing system in the world, being used for over 120 languages, the most popular of which is Hindi ().

Hinglish is the macaronic hybrid use of colloquial Hindi and English. Its name is a portmanteau of the words Hindi and English. In spoken contexts, it typically involves code-switching or translanguaging between these languages whereby they are freely interchanged within a sentence or between sentences.
