Hindi TutorialHindi AlphabetJust as the English alphabet have
vowels and consonants. Here you can familiarize yourself with the
Hindi alphabet - Hindi Varnamala. Hindi is mostly written in a
script called Nagari or Devanagari. Hindi is normally spoken using
a combination of 52 sounds - 10 vowels, 40 consonants, nasalisation
and a kind of aspiration. These sounds are represented in the
Devanagari script by 52 symbols: for 10 vowels, 2 modifiers and 40
consonants. You will also need to learn to recognize a character
that traditionally represented a vowel but does not any longer, and
four common conjunct consonants, which is actually a total of 57
symbols to remember to begin with. Once you have learnt the basic
characters you will then be easily able to learn the shorthand
(matra) symbols for the vowels and the conjunct characters.
VowelsHindi alphabets have ten vowels and two modifiers which
are given below. The symbols shown below the alphabets are known as
"matra" symbols. Matra symbols are used when consonants and vowels
are to be written together.

can use Arabic numerals in most of official communications in Hindi
language too. The use, however, should be consistent throughout
your written page.
