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.
