About this unit
Real print adds punctuation, other typefaces and typing. Devanagari has no capital letters.
| Mark | Job | Example |
|---|---|---|
| । | full stop (danda) | नमस्ते। |
| ? | question mark | यो घर हो? |
| , | comma, as in English | नमस्ते, माया। |
When you type, enter the parts in sound order; the font builds the shape.

Hello.namasteReading tips
The danda । ends a sentence in normal Nepali writing. Commas and question marks also occur. The script has no capitals.
Nukta letters in imported words are recognition items; ordinary Nepali normally uses its existing sound inventory. Hindi loan-letter values do not replace Nepali pronunciation.
Nepali has traditional and romanised keyboard layouts. Use the course tiles without installing either one. Enter consonant, vowel mark, nasal mark or halant in logical order.
