The Marathi Alphabet

Q: What script does Marathi use?

Marathi is written in the Devanagari script (देवनागरी) — a left-to-right abugida of 34 consonants and 14 independent vowels , shared with Hindi, Sanskrit, and Nepali. Each consonant carries an inherent short /a/ vowel, modified by diacritical vowel signs (matras) or suppressed by the halant (्) for consonant clusters. What distinguishes Marathi from Hindi in script is the presence of the unique letter ळ (La) — a retroflex lateral — and the absence of final inherent vowel pronunciation that characterises spoken Marathi. Devanagari was developed from the Brahmi script and has been used for Marathi since the 11th century CE.

Q: What is the unique Marathi letter ळ (La)?

ळ (La) is a retroflex lateral consonant unique to Marathi among modern Devanagari-script languages. It is one of the most characteristic features distinguishing Marathi from Hindi and other North Indian languages. The sound ळ (La) is produced with the tongue curled back (retroflex) against the roof of the mouth, giving a distinctive "L" sound different from the ordinary ल (la). It appears in many common Marathi words: काळ (kaaL, time/black), वेळ (vel, moment), खेळ (khel, game/play), ओळख (oLakh, acquaintance), पाळणे (paaLNe, to follow/observe). ळ (La) is also found in Vedic Sanskrit and the South Indian languages of the Dravidian family, reflecting ancient connections.

Q: What is the Marathi Barakhadi (बाराखडी)?

Barakhadi (बाराखडी) is the complete syllable chart of the Marathi language. It systematically shows every combination of the 34 Marathi consonants (व्यंजन) with all 13 vowel forms (मात्रा) , producing 442 unique syllables . Each cell in the chart is a standalone Marathi syllable — the fundamental unit of Marathi words. The Marathi Barakhadi differs from the Hindi Barakhadi in having an extra row for the unique consonant ळ (La) . Learning the Barakhadi is the traditional and essential step in Marathi literacy — children learn it by rote as part of their early education. The Marathi Barakhadi is also called the Barakhadi chart in English or बाराखडी चार्ट in Marathi.

Q: How many people speak Marathi?

Marathi is spoken by approximately 83 million people — making it the third most spoken language in India (after Hindi and Bengali) and one of the largest languages in the world. It is the official language of Maharashtra (the state with the highest GDP in India) and Goa, and is also spoken in parts of Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Andhra Pradesh. Marathi is one of the 22 scheduled languages of the Indian Constitution . Large Marathi diaspora communities are found worldwide, particularly in the United States, United Kingdom, and in Indian cities outside Maharashtra. Mumbai (the financial capital of India) is the largest Marathi-speaking city in the world.

Q: How does Marathi differ from Hindi?

While both Marathi and Hindi use the Devanagari script and belong to the Indo-Aryan language family, they have several important differences: Extra consonant : Marathi has 34 consonants vs. Hindi's 33 — the extra letter is ळ (La), the retroflex lateral absent from modern Hindi. Final vowel pronunciation : In Marathi, the inherent short /a/ vowel at the end of a word is typically not pronounced . In Hindi, it may be lightly pronounced. This is one of the most noticeable differences in spoken Marathi. Vocabulary : Marathi vocabulary draws heavily from Sanskrit, but has many unique words not found in Hindi. There is also significant influence from Kannada, Telugu, and Dravidian languages due to geographic proximity. Grammar : Marathi and Hindi have similar SOV word order but different verb conjugation systems, case endings, and postpositions. Despite these differences, Marathi and Hindi speakers can often communicate with some difficulty due to shared Sanskrit vocabulary and script.

Marathi Consonant Letters (व्यंजन)

The Marathi alphabet has 34 consonants (व्यंजन) — the standard 33 Devanagari consonants plus the unique ळ (La), a retroflex lateral found in Marathi and Vedic Sanskrit. Consonants are arranged in five phonetic vargas by place of articulation.

Each consonant carries an inherent /a/ vowel. The unique ळ (La) appears in common Marathi words: काळ (kaaL, time), वेळ (vel, moment), खेळ (khel, game), ओळख (oLakh, acquaintance). This letter is absent from modern Hindi.

Marathi Independent Vowels (स्वर)

Marathi has 14 independent vowels (स्वर) — the 11 standard Devanagari vowels plus आई (aai, mother — written with आ), अं (anusvara vowel), अः (visarga vowel), and the rare ॠ (long vocalic rr from Vedic Sanskrit).

The vowel अ (a) is the inherent vowel of every Marathi consonant. Notably, in Marathi the inherent short /a/ at the end of a word is often not pronounced — unlike Hindi where it may be lightly voiced. This is one of the key phonological differences between Marathi and Hindi.

Marathi Vowel Signs (मात्रा)

Marathi uses 12 vowel signs (matras, मात्रा) — diacritical marks attached to consonants to indicate which vowel follows. Each matra modifies the inherent /a/ sound of a Marathi consonant.

The i-matra (ि) is unique: it is written before the consonant it modifies. The anusvara (ं) marks nasalisation — very common in Marathi words. The halant (्) suppresses the inherent vowel for consonant clusters. These are the same matras as in Hindi.

In everyday and informal use, Marathi speakers widely use Arabic-Indic numerals (0–9). Both sets are standard in Marathi writing, with Devanagari numerals preferred in formal literature and official publications.
