G ujarati is descended from old Gujarati script which was written in 1100 CE - 1500 CE. Back then, the old Gujarati language was used as a literary language and some scholars even prefer it to be named as old Western Rajasthani script.
Just like in the past, the modern Gujarati also used three genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter), two numbers (singular and plural), and three cases (nominative, oblique, and agentive-locative) for nouns. Gujarati script is similar to Devanagari but without the continuous line at the top of the letters.
At present, Gujarati is the official language of the Indian state of Gujarat, widely spoken in Mumbai and also the most spoken language amongst Indian languages spoken in South Africa.
Gujarati alphabets are broken down into Vowels and Consonant letters. In addition, numerals in Gujarati are also written in Gujarati script.
Gujarati vowel, also called Swar (સ્વર), are the basic part of an alphabet in Gujarati language. Vowels are written as separate letters and combined with consonants to determine the final sound.
Independent Vowels in Gujarati are placed before consonants whereas dependent vowels are placed either after, on top, or below a consonant, giving the writing the appearance of a multi-storied building.
