Devanagari DAY v NAH g ree, IAST Devangar, a compound of deva and ngar Hindi pronunciation denari, also called Nagari Ngar, ,4 is an abugida alphasyllabary used in India and Nepal. It is written from left to right, has a strong preference for symmetrical rounded shapes within squared outlines, and is recognisable by a horizontal line that runs along the top of full letters. 5 In a cursory look, the Devanagari script appears different from other Indic scripts such as Bengali Assamese, Odia, or Gurmukhi, but a closer examination reveals they are very similar except for angles and structural emphasis. 5The Nagari script has roots in the ancient Brhm script family. 6 Some of the earliest epigraphical evidence attesting to the developing Sanskrit Nagari script in ancient India, in a form similar to Devanagari, is from the 1st to 4th century CE inscriptions discovered in Gujarat. 1 The Nagari script was in regular use by the 7th century CE and it was fully developed by about the end of first millennium. 47 The use of Sanskrit in Nagari script in medieval India is attested by numerous pillar and cave temple inscriptions, including the 1. Udayagiri inscriptions in Madhya Pradesh,8 and an inscribed brick found in Uttar Pradesh, dated to be from 1. CE, which is now held at the British Museum. 9 The scripts proto and related versions have been discovered in ancient relics outside of India, such as in Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Indonesia while in East Asia, Siddha Matrika script considered as the closest precursor to Nagari was in use by Buddhists. 1. Nagari has been the primus inter pares of the Indic scripts. 1. It has long been used traditionally by religiously educated people in South Asia to record and transmit information, existing throughout the land in parallel with a wide variety of local scripts such as Modi, Kaithi, and Mahajani used for administration, commerce, and other daily uses. The Devanagari script is used for over 1. Among the languages using it as either their only script or one of their scripts are Hindi,1. Marathi, Nepali, Bhojpuri, Maithili, Rajasthani, Chhattisgarhi, Santali, Kashmiri, Konkani, Sindhi, Dogri, Bodo, Nepalbhasa, Awadhi, Magahi, Haryanvi, Bhili, Mundari, Pali and Sanskrit. 1. The Devanagari script is closely related to the Nandinagari script commonly found in numerous ancient manuscripts of South India,1. Asian scripts. 1. Devanagari script has forty seven primary characters, of which fourteen are vowels and thirty three are consonants. 1. The ancient Nagari script for Sanskrit had two additional consonantal characters. 1. The script has no distinction similar to the capital and small letters of the Latin alphabet. 1. Generally the orthography of the script reflects the pronunciation of the language. 1. OriginseditDevanagari is part of the Brahmic family of scripts of India, Nepal, Tibet, and South East Asia. 1. It is a descendant of the Gupta script, along with Siddham and Sharada. 1. Variants of script called Ngar, recognisably close to Devanagari, are first attested from the 1st century CE Rudradaman inscriptions in Sanskrit, while the modern standardised form of Devanagari was in use by about 1. CE. 71. 9 Medieval inscriptions suggest widespread diffusion of the Nagari related scripts, with biscripts presenting local script along with the adoption of Nagari scripts. For example, the mid 8th century Pattadakal pillar in Karnataka has text in both Siddha Matrika script, and an early Telugu Kannada script while, the Kangra Jvalamukhi inscription in Himachal Pradesh is written in both Sharada and Devanagari scripts. 2. A 1. 9th century Rigveda manuscript in Devanagari. The 7th century Tibetan king Srong tsan gambo ordered that all foreign books be transcribed into the Tibetan language. He sent his ambassador Tonmi Sambota to India to acquire alphabet and writing methods returning with Sanskrit Nagari script from Kashmir corresponding to 2. Tibetan sounds and innovating new symbols for 6 local sounds. 2. Other closely related scripts such as Siddham Matrka was in use in Indonesia, Vietnam, Japan and other parts of East Asia by between 7th to 1. Sharada remained in parallel use in Kashmir. An early version of Devanagari is visible in the Kutila inscription of Bareilly dated to Vikram Samvat 1. CE, which demonstrates the emergence of the horizontal bar to group letters belonging to a word. 2 One of the oldest surviving Sanskrit text from early post Maurya period available consists of 1,4. Nagari pages of a commentary by Patanjali, with a composition date of about 1. BCE, the surviving copy transcribed about 1. CE. 2. 4Ngar is the Sanskrit feminine of Ngara relating or belonging to a town or city, urban. It is a phrasing with lipi script as ngar lipi script relating to a city, or spoken in city. 2. The use of the name devangar is relatively recent, and the older term ngar is still common. 1. The rapid spread of the term devangar may be related to the almost exclusive use of this script to publish Sanskrit texts in print since the 1. PrincipleeditAs a Brahmic abugida, the fundamental principle of Devanagari is that each letter represents a consonant, which carries an inherent schwa vowel. This is usually written in Latin as a, though it is represented as in the International Phonetic Alphabet. 2. The letter is read ka, the two letters are kana, the three are kanaya, etc. Other vowels, or the absence of vowels, require modification of these consonants or their own letters. Devanagari text from Vayu Purana Marathi Translation. A final consonant is marked with the diacritic called the virma in Sanskrit, halant in Hindi, and occasionally a killer stroke in English. This cancels the inherent vowel, so that from knaya is derived knay. The halant is often used for consonant clusters when typesetting conjunct ligatures is not feasible. clarification neededConsonant clusters are written with ligaturessayuktkara conjuncts. For example, the three consonants, , and, k, n, y, when written consecutively without virma form, as shown above. Alternatively, they may be joined as clusters to form knaya, kanya, or knya. This system was originally created for use with the Middle Indo Aryan languages, which have a very limited number of clusters the only clusters allowed are geminate consonants and clusters involving homorganicnasal stops. When applied to Sanskrit, however, it added a great deal of complexity to the script, due to the large variety of clusters in this language up to five consonants, e. Unicode Gurmukhi Fonts and Information. Welcome to Unicode page NOTE This web page is updated on October 1. Unicode fonts are updated. This web page. provides information and downloading links about Unicode Gurmukhi fonts, related Language Keyboards software that controls typing of Unicode font characters and related files made by Kulbir Thind, MD. What is. Unicode The Unicode Consortium is a non profit organization founded to develop, extend and promote use of the Unicode Standard, which specifies the representation of text in modern software products and standards. Unicode is the accepted international standard that includes support for all major scripts of the World and is adopted by all current major computer operating systems. This is a 1. 6 bit standard that allows use of more than 6. It has support for major Indic Indian scripts that include Devanagari Hindi, Marathi, Sanskrit, Bengali Bengali, Assamese, Gurmukhi Punjabi, Gujarati, Oriya, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam. Microsoft Windows XP Vista has full support for Indic scripts, including Gurmukhi. All future development regarding scripts will be based on Unicode. Advantages. of Unicode relating to Gurmukhi script The purpose of this write up is not to give any detailed information on this topic, but some points are worth mentioning. Migration to Unicode may not be painless as one has to adapt to new ways but it is not a big deal and for editing purposes, one has to have a software that has support for Unicode. For example, to edit Unicode text on Windows XP or later computers, MS Word 2. However, there are many advantages in using Unicode text. Documents and web pages made with Unicode text, when viewed with an appropriate web browser on a computer with support for Unicode, will always be viewed in the right script even if the font in which web pages are made is not installed into the system just as English text is always English, even if the font in which it is made is missing. One can name files and folders in Gurmukhi, search web pages in Gurmukhi, sort text with ease, exchange Gurmukhi data without having to worry about fonts and avoid the hassles of upper case lower case and spacing problems that happen when many available non Unicode Gurmukhi fonts are used. The implementation of Indic scripts by Unicode has been done as per recommendations by the Indian government and it is done in such a way that transliteration phonetic between Indic scripts will be easier compared to if non standard fonts are used as code points for corresponding characters are well defined. You may read more on this topic. Before you attempt to install and use Unicode Gurmukhi fonts and Language Keyboards, for which downloading links are at the bottom of this page, you must understand the following Unicode is the accepted international standard for rendering fonts on computers with different operating systems. Computers with different operating systems have adopted this as the ultimate standard for the future. It is 1. 6 bit standard and is a major step forward compared to other standards for use of fonts on the computers. Regarding the PCs personal computers with MS Windows operating systems, Gurmukhi Unicode fonts can only be used on those with Windows XP or later operating system. And only the programs designed to make use of Unicode standard can make use of these fonts. Many older versions of MS Microsoft Office cannot make use of Unicode fonts. Although MS Office 2. XP, 2. 00. 2 may display and print documents containing Gurmukhi Unicode fonts, only MS Office 2. Unicode standard. Thus anyone who wants to edit documents with Unicode fonts on a PC with Windows XP or later must also have MS Office 2. Open. Office that is free and can be downloaded from http www. Open. Office. org, does not have the scope and breadth of feature as MS Word and seems not to handle large documents well, but is Unicode compliant. Although all PCs with Windows XP operating system with installed language components have the support for Unicode standard generally, such PCs do not come ready with Punjabi language support installed and this must be done by the user. MS Windows Vista or later computers come with complex scripts activated, but do require installation of specific Language Keyboard software that controls typing of Unicode characters. One simple way to accomplish activation of complex scripts of Windows XP, is to install one of the GurmukhiPunjabi keyboards provided on this web page near the bottom of this page. Otherwise, this is achieved through the Control Panel, by double clicking on the Regional and Language Options icon and then by making the appropriate selections. Please follow instructions provided through a link at the end of this page. Once the Punjabi language complex script facility and an appropriate Punjabi Language Keyboard software that controls typing of Unicode characters is installed into your Windows XP or later computer one has to switchtoggle to the Punjabi keyboard input to be able to type Gurmukhi characters. The switching between the Gurmukhi and English typing input can also be achieved by pressing the AltShift keys on the keyboard or by selecting the input language through the task bar. The default Gurmukhi font that comes with Windows based computers is Raavi. An alternate font in these computers for typing Gurmukhi is Arial Unicode MS Note this font is a part of some software by Microsoft and may not be present on all systems. Tahoma is another font from Microsoft that has Gurmukhi characters. However, one can install other Gurmukhi Unicode fonts such as made available here, which may then be used instead. There are some peculiarities of typing Gurmukhi Unicode fonts, which must be understood. For example Sihaaree is always typed afterwards and you cannot type Eerhee followed by Sihaaree OR Bihaaree, instead you must type a compound Sihaaree. Erhee OR Eerhee. Bihaaree. This also applies to Urhaa. Aunkarh, Urhaa. Dulainkarh, Eerhee. Laavaa, Airhaa. Dulaavaan, Urhaa. Horha and Airhaa. Kanaurhaa. If you try to type the wrong way you will not get the desired output, but instead, at each wrong step you will get a letter followed by a dotted circle symbol followed by Lagaa. Matraa. NOTE Regarding these special situations, it is possible to achieve natural writing method thorough modifications of the keyboardtext input method and that has been achieved in the keyboards available for downloading through the links given at the bottom of this page. The default keyboard input method from Microsoft is not very intuitive at least not for me. The keyboards provided at the bottom of this page are more suitable to users already familiar with certain NON Unicode fonts made by me. However, expert users can modify keyboards to ones liking by using a freeware from Microsoft that can be downloaded from http microsoft. With this program one can design a Keyboard input method to ones liking that can then be installed onto any computer with Windows XP or later operating system. The current version of the Gurmukhi Unicode standard does not have support for some special characters that are used in Gurbani old Gurmukhi. My Unicode fonts do provide support for most of such characters. However, it is important to understand what it means. Reading this, next two paragraphs should make that clear.
