Modi, Moḍī

Modi (Devanagari: मोडि) is a script used to write the Marathi language, which is the primary language spoken in the state of Maharashtra, India. The script is based on the Devanagari script and is very similar to it. The main difference between the two scripts is that Modi uses a different character to represent the sound "ḍa" (ड). The Modi script was developed in the 13th century by a man named Shankar Modi. It was originally used to write Marathi, but it has since been used to write other languages as well, such as Hindi, Sanskrit, and Pali. The Modi script is very efficient and easy to learn. It is also very popular among Marathi speakers.
