AI overview

Devanagari is an ancient writing system used across India and Nepal today, derived from an even older script and now used to write over 120 languages, most notably Hindi. It is one of the world's most widely used writing systems, with a structure that combines vowels and consonants in a distinctive way that has remained largely unchanged since around 1000 CE.

La devanàgari (देवनागरी, IAST: devánāgarī, sanscrito: lett. "Scrittura della Città divina"; detto anche nāgarī) è un alfasillabario ("abugida") usato in diverse lingue dell'India (sanscrito, hindi, marathi, kashmiri, sindhi, nepalese). È una scrittura sillabica dove ogni lettera contiene già una vocale inerente scevà, che può essere modificata in altre vocali tramite l'utilizzo di segni diacritici che precedono, succedono o sottostanno alla lettera principale. L'alfabeto bengalese e il suo funzionamento deriva dalla devanagari.
