The Gujarati Alphabet

Q: What script does Gujarati use?

Gujarati is written in the Gujarati script — an abugida of 34 consonants and 13 independent vowels , written left to right. Each consonant carries an inherent short /a/ vowel that is modified by diacritical vowel signs (matras) or suppressed by the virama (્) mark when forming consonant clusters. The Gujarati script is derived from the Devanagari script but has a distinctive visual difference: it lacks the top horizontal bar (shirorekha) present in Devanagari and Bengali. It also uniquely includes the retroflex lateral consonant ળ. The script is encoded in Unicode block U+0A80–U+0AFF.

Q: What language family does Gujarati belong to?

Gujarati belongs to the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European language family. Indo-Aryan languages form one of the two major branches of Indo-Iranian (alongside Iranian languages). Gujarati descends from Old Gujarati (also called Old Rajasthani or Apabhramsha), the medieval predecessor also ancestral to Rajasthani. Within Indo-Aryan, Gujarati is closely related to Hindi, Marathi, Sindhi, Rajasthani, and Punjabi. It is mutually partially intelligible with Hindi and shares much vocabulary. The language developed a distinct literary tradition from the 12th century CE, with the poet Hemachandra being one of the earliest grammarians of Old Gujarati.

Q: What is the Gujarati Barakhadi (ગુજરાતી બારાખડી)?

Barakhadi (ગુજરાતી બારાખડી) is the complete syllable chart of the Gujarati language. It systematically shows every combination of the 34 consonants (વ્યંજન) with all 13 vowel forms (માત્રા) , producing 442 unique syllables . Each cell in the chart is a standalone Gujarati syllable — the fundamental unit of Gujarati words. The name "Barakhadi" comes from "barah" (twelve) + "khadi" (standing), referring to the vowel forms that stand alongside each consonant. Learning the Barakhadi is the traditional and essential first step in becoming literate in Gujarati — children learn it by rote as part of their early school education in Gujarat.

Q: What are Gujarati matras (માત્રા)?

Matras (માત્રા) are the vowel diacritical signs in the Gujarati script. When a vowel follows a consonant inside a word, the vowel's independent letter form is replaced by a smaller matra symbol written around the consonant — above, below, before, or after it depending on the vowel. Gujarati has 12 matras: ા (aa), િ (i), ી (ee), ુ (u), ૂ (oo), ૃ (ri), ે (e), ૈ (ai), ો (o), ૌ (au), ં (anusvara), and ઃ (visarga). The short /a/ vowel has no matra — it is inherent to every consonant. The i-matra (િ) is unique in being written to the left of the consonant it modifies.

Q: How is the Gujarati script different from Devanagari?

The Gujarati script and Devanagari both belong to the Brahmic family and share the same phonetic organisation, but they differ in several key ways. Most visually obvious is that Gujarati script lacks the top horizontal bar (shirorekha) that runs above each letter in Devanagari — giving Gujarati a more rounded, open appearance. Gujarati also uniquely includes the retroflex lateral consonant ળ (lla) , which has no equivalent in standard Devanagari used for Hindi. The Gujarati script has its own distinctive set of digit glyphs (૦–૯) that differ from Devanagari digits (०–९). Both scripts are abugidas written left to right and share the same phonological organisation of consonants into five vargas.

Q: Is Gujarati an official language?

Yes. Gujarati is the official language of the Indian state of Gujarat and is also official in the union territories of Daman and Diu, and Dadra and Nagar Haveli. It is listed in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution of India as one of 22 scheduled languages of India. Gujarati is used for official state government communication, legislative proceedings, and is the medium of instruction in schools across Gujarat. Mahatma Gandhi, who was Gujarati by birth, wrote extensively in Gujarati, and the language carries significant cultural and historical prestige in India.

Gujarati Consonant Letters (વ્યંજન)

The Gujarati alphabet has 34 consonants (વ્યંજન) arranged in five phonetic groups (vargas) by place of articulation — velars, palatals, retroflexes, dentals, and labials — plus semivowels and sibilants. Each consonant carries an inherent /a/ vowel. Notably, Gujarati includes ળ (retroflex lateral), absent in Hindi Devanagari.

Each consonant can be combined with any of the 13 vowel matras to form syllables, displayed in the Barakhadi chart below. The Gujarati consonants occupy Unicode U+0A95–U+0AB9.

Gujarati Independent Vowels (સ્વર)

The vowel અ (a) is special: it is the inherent vowel of every consonant and has no independent matra form. The Gujarati vowels occupy Unicode U+0A85–U+0A8D and U+0A8F–U+0A93.

Gujarati Vowel Signs (માત્રા)

The i-matra (િ) is unique: it is written before the consonant it modifies, even though the sound comes after. The anusvara (ં) and visarga (ઃ) are also included as essential diacritical marks in Gujarati writing.

[aa]

િ

[i]

ઃ

[h]

Visarga — indicates a final /h/ sound. Primarily appears in Sanskrit-origin (tatsama) words and exclamations.

Gujarati Digits (૦–૯)

Gujarati uses Gujarati numerals (૦–૯) in formal and traditional contexts. These digits occupy Unicode U+0AE6–U+0AEF. They are part of the ancient Indian numeral tradition, closely related to Devanagari digits.

In everyday and informal use, Gujarati speakers also widely use the common Arabic-Indic numerals (0–9). Both digit sets are considered standard in Gujarati writing, with Gujarati numerals preferred in formal literature.

Special Characters & Punctuation

Gujarati uses the danda (।) as the full stop and the double danda (॥) to mark the end of a verse or section. These marks are shared across Brahmic-script writing traditions including Hindi and Sanskrit.

The Gujarati Om (ૐ) is the sacred syllable used in religious contexts. The avagraha (ઽ) appears in Sanskrit loanwords. The Indian Rupee sign (₹) is used in all modern Gujarati financial writing.
