But almost all the primary school students learn it without much of difficulty. As you may know there are some rules for writing/forming ĐevaNāgarī words. Let me remind you that it is not only about learning more characters, it is more than that. The first thought that comes to one's mind is that in comparison to about 70 characters in English you have to learn more than 100 alphabets in ĐevaNāgarī. So, there are more than 100 basic letter-forms in ĐevaNāgarī. In ĐevaNāgarī, we can study alphabets under following categories. The main difference is that many of the māŧrāEn̐ connect to Akṣhars while diacritics generally do not connect to the letters.Ī conjunct is called a 'joḍ-Akṣhar' ('joḍ' means join or joint). Remember a māŧrā is applied over an Akṣhar like a diacritic is applied over a letter in Latin. A māŧrā represent an 'amount' (or presence) of a vowel (or a consonant) in a syllable. The māŧrāEn̐ are applied over Akṣhar/s to form syllables. In ĐevaNāgarī, we do not simply write characters one after the other. Marks or signs of consonants like 'Anusvār', 'visarg', 'reph' and 'rakār' are also called māŧrāEn̐! We will see what these marks means and how they look like! ĐevaNāgarī is Syllabic The nasalization mark 'chanđra-binđu' ( ँ ), is also called a māŧrā. Every vowel (except one) has a corresponding sign (or mark) called its māŧrā.ĭo not make plural of māŧrā simply by appending 's' (like māŧrās) because in Hinđī, the word māŧrāEn̐ (मात्राएँ) denotes plural form of māŧrā. In Hinđī & Sanskṛiŧ, māŧrā (मात्रा) means extent or amount! So a māŧrā represent amount of a vowel. 'kṣhar' also means 'Ajṅān' (Agn'yān lack of knowledge), so we can say 'Akṣhar' mean 'not lack of knowledge' or 'knowledge'! MāŧrāEn̐ (मात्राएँ) In a chapter titled 'Akṣhar Vijṅān (Vign'yān)' of a book titled 'Vaiđik Sampaŧŧi', 'Akṣhar' is compared to an atom! (Then 'conjuncts'/'syllables' become molecules. 'A' is used here as 'un', so 'Akṣhar' means something 'which remains' (nonperishable)! Knowledge remains in the form of Akṣhar/s. 'kṣhar' (क्षर) means 'cease to exist' or 'which will not remain'. Akṣhar (अक्षर)Īkṣhar means something immortal. It is also called 'kakaharā' (ककहरा) or 'Akṣhar-mālā' (अक्षरमाला Akshar-mala)! Varṇa means letter mālā means chain or garland. The alphabet of Nāgarī is called 'Varṇamālā' (वर्णमाला). If you want to see pictures of ĐevaNāgarī alphabets and skip the introduction of Nāgarī click following.
