Text of the page (random words):
ditionally a primary school has begun teaching the modi script to the next generation 15 description edit overview edit the modi script derives from the nāgari family of scripts and is a modification of the balbodh style of the devanagari script intended for continuous writing although modi is based upon devanagari it differs considerably from it in terms of letter forms rendering behaviours and orthography the shapes of some consonants vowels and vowel signs are similar the differences are visible in the behaviours of these characters in certain circumstances such as consonant vowel combinations and consonant conjuncts which are standard features of modi orthography the modi script has 46 distinctive letters of which 36 are consonants and 10 vowels 2 cursive features edit the modi script has several characteristics that facilitate writing minimising having to lift the pen from the paper for dipping in ink while moving from one character to the next some characters are broken versions of their devanagari counterparts and many characters are more circular in shape these characteristics make modi a sort of cursive style of writing marathi the cursive nature of the script also allowed scribes to easily make multiple copies of a document if required 13 shown here is a picture showing all the modi script characters in the kotem1 clip font features of the letters edit numerous modifications are made to the modi script in writing as shortcuts reflecting its history as a quasi shorthand form of devanagari the consonants fall into three broad categories 1 those that always retain their isolated form and attach their dependent vowel forms in a way common to most indic scripts 2 those that take on a contextual form and change their form only in the presence of a dependent vowel immediately after in which case those vowel forms are attached to the contextual form of the consonant in a uniform way as done with the consonants in category 1 and with most other indic alphabets and 3 those that form ligatures in the presence of vowel following the consonants the ligatures are generally determined by the shape of the consonant and the presence of a loop on the right regarding conjuncts as in devanagari ksha and tra have special conjuncts while other consonants typically occupy half forms or contextual forms the letter ra is special as it can take different visual positions as the first consonant in a conjunct cluster depending on whether it is palatalized or not as the second consonant in a cluster however it functions almost identically as in devanagari alternative forms of the letter ra are also used to make multisyllabic clusters involving it this is seen in kara tara sara and a few others as a subjoined ra to the bottom right of a letter and in joining at the end of other syllables it is seen with a curved head following dependent vowel signs like aa and punctuation marks like dandas the ra also joins underneath and any additional vowel marks are written directly on top of the subjoined ra modi also has an empty circle that indicates abbreviations which also may have been borrowed by goykanadi used for writing konkani which is closely related to marathi head stroke edit the head stroke in modi is unlike devanagari in that it is typically written before the letters are in order to produce a ruled page for writing modi in lines thus there are no word boundaries that can be visibly seen since the head stroke does not break between words usage edit the modi script was frequently used as a shorthand script for swift writing in business and administration modi was used primarily by administrative people as well as businessmen in keeping their accounts and writing hundis credit notes modi was also used to encrypt the message since not all people were well versed in reading this script 13 letters edit consonants 𑘎 ka 𑘏 kha 𑘐 ga 𑘑 gha 𑘒 ṅa 𑘓 ca 𑘔 cha 𑘕 ja 𑘖 jha 𑘗 ña 𑘘 ṭa 𑘙 ṭha 𑘚 ḍa 𑘛 ḍha 𑘜 ṇa 𑘝 ta 𑘞 tha

printing and typing edit printing edit before printing in marathi was possible the modi script was used for writing prose and balbodh was used for writing poetry when printing in marathi became possible choosing between modi and balbodh was a problem william carey published the first book on marathi grammar in 1805 using balbodh since printing in the modi script was not available to him in serampore bengal at the time marathi books were generally written in balbodh however subsequent editions of william carey s book on marathi grammar starting in 1810 were written in the modi script 16 17 using offset printing machines previously lithography printing was in vogue typing edit the word modi in modern modi script the modi script was included in unicode for the first time in version 7 0 2 18 this inclusion has recently led to the development of unicode fonts for modi such as marathicursive and noto sans modi also a unicode keyboard layout for modi named modi kagapa phonetic has been recently added in the xkb keyboard stack 19 which is mainly used in linux based operating systems the character mapping of this keyboard layout is similar to the existing marathi kagapa phonetic layout but uses modi s dedicated unicode block for typing documents in the modi script edit most documents in modi are handwritten the oldest document in the modi script is from 1389 and is preserved at the bhārat itihās sanshodhan mandal bism in pune 6 the majority of documents and correspondence from before shivaji raje bhonsle s times are written in the modi script 13 unicode edit see also modi
