Gujarati Script is an abugida used primarily for writing the Gujarati language, which is spoken in the Indian state of Gujarat. It is derived from the Devanagari script and is characterized by its rounded shapes and lack of horizontal lines at the top. The script consists of 34 consonants and 14 vowels, with each consonant having an inherent vowel sound that can be modified with diacritics.
The script is written from left to right and has a rich history, dating back to the 12th century. It is used not only for literature but also for various forms of communication, including newspapers and educational materials. The Gujarati Script plays a vital role in preserving the cultural identity of the Gujarati people.
