Interactive on-line lessons ________________________________________ The Devanagari Script
The Devanagari Script used for writing Sanskrit and a few other Indian languages has evolved from the Brahmi script which dates back to about 300 B.C. The Devanagari as we see it today, dates back to about 1700 A.D. Printing in Devanagari became possible around 1850 after printing presses were establised in India. The script studied here corresponds to modern Devanagari seen in books printed during the past seventy to hundred years. Books printed in Devanagari prior to 1900 A.D. may show some variations in representing some letters. |
