How to write consonants of Sanskrit alphabet from English–क

Learning Sanskrit letters through English

This will sound very interesting to you if you are not from India and want to learn how to write Devanagari script, which is used in Sanskrit, Hindi and Marathi language.

I have tried to explain it through English letters and hope you will find it interesting and easy.

This guide is about consonant क

If you know the transliteration scheme used for Sanskrit, its pronunciation is from the 1st position of the mouth. It is represented as [Ka] when used in full form.

As you can see from the picture, you need rotate ‘S’ letter to 90 degree and join it with ‘T’. With this simple process, you can write the क consonant of Devanagari script.

This will be very helpful for people who live outside India and don’t have any exposure to Devanagari script but want to learn Sanskrit, Hindi or Marathi language.
