It’s fun if you know how to read and write Devnagiri letters because it helps in the study of Yoga, meditation, mantra, and even in travel if you are not from India.

People who want to learn Devnagri script, they will find this very useful because only using English letters, we can learn how to make these consonants.

The letter we are going to learn today in ट, which is commonly used in Sanskrit, Hindi, Marathi and even Punjabi language.

Please note that there is a dot underneath it according the pronunciation scheme. If you know the transliteration followed for Sanskrit, the pronunciation position for this letter is 3rd.

It’s the 21st consonant of Devnagiri alphabet. It has a hard sound and is very close the sound of ‘T’ in English itself. But it is always good if you practice some Indian words to get the clarity of its sound.

To draw this letter, join ‘T’ with ‘C’ of English. There is no other addition or change that you need to make.

If you have any questions, feedback or doubts, you can write to us through the comments section and we will be happy to respond.

We are today discussing one of the most interesting consonant of Devnagri script, used extensively in Sanskrit, Hindi and Marathi languages.

Its phonetic transcription used in transliteration is Ṇa and the pronunciation position is 3rd.

It is so close to the 4th position or dental Na that while speaking and singing, people hardly pay attention to it. Consider, for example, some names: कृष्ण, गणेश, विष्णु (Kṛṣṇa, Gaṇeśa, Viṣṇu)–all these are pronounced with the dental Na while singing and speaking; however, if you can pay attention to this different consonant, you will be sounding more original.

Further, there are many words that are common with Hindi, Punjabi and even Rajasthani language, where Na and Ṇa interchange. Like the word रानी from Hindi and ਰਾਣੀ from Punjabi. Both mean queen but use different nasal sounds.

A few people like to call it ‘Country-side Na’.

You just have to join ‘U’ with a ‘T’ from English, and you will get this consonant. It happens to be the 15th consonant of Devnagiri script.

Without doubt, it is one of the favorite consonants in Devnagiri, and I love respecting it whenever I can making sure I give it proper sound and attention in which word it is used.

If you have any questions, feedback or doubts regarding its pronunciation or structure, please feel free to write to us through the comment section.

Continuing our series of learning to draw or write Devnagiri letters from English alphabet, we are today going to learn the 12^th consonant.

It is difficult to pronounce and difficult to recognize too while using the transliteration scheme. However, the best way to pick is to look at the dot underneath the ‘T’, and you will instantly know that it is the 3^rd position consonant.

Interestingly, it consists only two letters. ‘O’ and a ‘T’ and when you join them, you get this consonant in Devnagiri script.

It’s used in the same form in various languages including Sanskrit, Hindi, Marathi and Punjabi. Punjabi does not use Devnagiri but even its script has the same form of the consonant that gives the needed sound.

If you have noticed foreigners pronouncing the 11^th consonant, you will notice that they tend to slide towards this consonant. So, instead of ‘ट’, they tend to pronounce ‘ठ’.

If you would like to suggest, clarify any doubt, comment or provide your feedback regarding the pronunciation or usage of this consonant, you can freely write to us through the comments section.

Its pronunciation point is 3rd in the mouth cavity and is one of the most difficult to pronounce when it comes to Indian languages.

So, when you pick up the English ‘T’ and join it with ‘S’, you get the Devnagiri consonant ड.

Be careful about the dot underneath the ‘D’ when it comes to transliteration.

It is not simply making drawings, sketches, or images but is vast enough to encompass any ability that a human being could possess.

Continuing our efforts of making it easier for Westerns to learn Devnagari letters which are used in Sanskrit, Hindi and Marathi languages, we present the next letter घ, which happens to be the fourth consonant.

In International Standard transliteration scheme, it is represented as ‘gha’. The pronunciation position of this consonant is 1st position of the mouth if you understand that system.

So, to draw it, you have to invert the digit 3 and join it with displaced T.

Of course, you can do a bit of beautification and straightening of the letter but more or less you are there if you carefully join them.

Feel free to write to us if you have any question or feedback.
