The Shape of Words: What Makes Gujarati Script Unique
The Gujarati script isn’t just a way to write words it’s a beautiful part of the language itself! With curvy lines, loops, and flowing shapes, each letter has its own charm. Learning to recognize and write these letters helps kids read signs, books, and even handwritten notes.
What Makes It Different?
Unlike English letters, the Gujarati script:
- Has no horizontal line across the top (unlike Hindi’s Devanagari)
- Is written from left to right
- Has 12 vowels and 34 consonants
Here are a few fun characters:
- અ (a)
- મ (ma)
- ન (na)
- હું (hu – “I”)
Try tracing them with your finger or writing them in sand, flour, or with markers!
