Become familiar with Devanagari Script

Devanagari, an abugida alphabet of India and Nepal, is the primary script used in writing Hindi, Nepali and Marathi. The scripting moves from left to right, with deficiency in distinct letter cases, and is perceptible by a distinctive horizontal line running along the toppings of the letters connecting them together.


Look deep into the Hindi vowels and consonants

Hindi has 11 vowels, often specified by the use of diacritic marks, or symbols added to the letters of an alphabet, to emphasise on different pronunciations. Hindi Vowels have two forms: one form for when they are pronounced independently, and one form for when the vowel joins with a consonant in a word.

Also, 33 consonants prevail in Hindi. They are sectioned in the alphabet as per the usage of the mouth and throat while pronouncing them. Hindi makes use of more consonants than English does, and some of them don't have any undeviating equivalent in English. The (a) sitting next to some consonants implies that the pronunciation would be in the line of aspirated (i.e., with a strong breath of air such as p in "pit" or "puff").


Learn the process of writing the Hindi alphabet

Once something is laid out on paper, learning the Devanagari script would be a convenient means. With writing draws in the familiarity of Hindi nouns. Nouns are words for places, animals, objects, emotions, and humans. In Hindi language, all nouns possess a gender: feminine or masculine.
