Gujarātī 
Gujarātī is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by
about 46 million people in the Indian states of Gujarat, Maharashtra,
Rajasthan, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh, and also in Bangladesh, Fiji,
Kenya, Malawi, Mauritius, Oman, Pakistan, Réunion, Singapore, South

Gujarātī script
The Gujarātī script was adapted from the Devanāgarī script to write the Gujarātī language. The earliest known document in the Gujarātī script is a manuscript dating from 1592, and the script first appeared in print in a 1797 advertisement. Until the 19th century it was used mainly for writing letters and keeping accounts, while the Devanāgarī script was used for literature and academic writings.
Notable Features
- The Gujarātī script is also known as the
śarāphi (banker's),
vāṇiāśāi
(merchant's) or mahājani (trader's) script.
- Gujarātī is a syllabic alphabet in that consonants
all have an inherent vowel.
- Vowels can be written as independent letters, or by using a variety
of diacritical marks which are written above, below, before or after
the consonant they belong to.
