Devanagari (देवनागरी) is the writing system used for Hindi, Sanskrit, Marathi, and Nepali. It is written left to right and consists of 46 primary characters — 14 vowels and 32 consonants. A horizontal line runs across the top of each word, a feature unique to Devanagari.
Unlike Arabic or Korean, Devanagari letters do not change shape depending on position. Each consonant has an inherent "a" vowel sound — so क reads as "ka" unless a different vowel marker is added. This makes the transliteration system very consistent and easy to learn.
