	Devanāgarī - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Devanagari emerged around 1200 AD out of the Siddham script, gradually replacing the earlier, closely related Sharada script (which remained in parallel use in Kashmir).
		The philosophy behind this is that when one meditates on the specific sounds of the Devanagari alphabet, the written forms appear spontaneously in the mind.
		All the vowels in Devanagari are attached to the top or bottom of the consonant or to an vowel sign attached to the right of the consonant, with the exception of the vowel sign, which is attached on the left.

		Rigveda manuscript in Devanagari (early 19th century) Devanāgarī (देवनागरी — in English pronounced) (ISCII – IS13194:1991) [1] is an abugida alphabet used to write several Indian languages, including Sanskrit, Hindi, Marathi, Kashmiri, Sindhi, Bihari, Bhili, Konkani, Bhojpuri and Nepali from Nepal.
		Devanagari is a form of alphabet called an abugida, as each consonant has an inherent vowel (a), that can be changed with the different vowel signs.
		Sanskrit spelling was phonetic, but with historical changes, the spelling of modern languages written in Devanagari may only be partly phonetic in the sense that a word written in it can only be pronounced in one way, but not all possible pronunciations can be written perfectly.

		Devanagari was invented by Brahmins in order to conceal knowledge from the common man. The difficult nature of the script hampered learning for the non-Brahmans, enabling the Brahmins to maintain their stranglehold over the non-Brahmin races and crush them into a sub-human existence.
		Thus the total number of Devanagari characters is at least 509, and each of these must have a different type-character associated with it in a printing press.
		The Devanagari script, which the cunning Brahmans claim was introduced by the gods, dates to the 10th century.

		Everywhere Brahmanic Devanagari is gaining at the expense of non-Brahmin scripts, and everywhere the 20th century Brahmin invention known as Khari Boli Hindi is crushing other languages into oblivion.
		Indeed, the spread of Devanagari is the result of a systematic and well-planned Brahmin conspiracy aimed at oppressing the non-Brahmins.
		One example of such falsehood is the Brahmin claim that Devanagari is the original Indo-Aryan script, that it is the progenitor of all scripts in the world, that it was given by the Gods, and that it was in general use in ancient India.

		In many cases approximations are given in Devanagari with a 'dot' under the consonant in question.
