Marwari-Script: History and Importance

Marwari was invented as a cursive “shorthand” or speed writing to note down the royal edicts. Marwari (मारवाड़ी-Marwari also rendered as Marwadi or Marvadi) is a Rajasthani language. Marwari is popularly written in Devanagari script.

Traditional Devanagari was found to be excessively time-consuming since each character required as many as 3 to 5 strokes and the lifting of the hand, each time the stroke was completed. Marwari got round this obstacle by “bending” the letters thereby doing away with the need of lifting the hand. This invention thus allowed for a continuous writing which could be used by court scribes to note the edicts.

This app has been created to revive our old Marwari script which is getting extinct and to learn Marwari. Learning Marwari-Script is useful to Academician, Historian, Researcher and Legal experts and also for knowing more about cultural, heritage preservation.
