Nāgarī Script Information
The Nāgarī script is the ancestor of Devanagari and other scripts, and was first used to write Sanskrit only.
The Nāgarī script appeared in ancient India around the 8th century CE as an eastern variant of the Gupta script (whereas Śāradā was the western variety). In turn it branched off into several scripts, such as Devanagari, Eastern Nagari, and Nandinagari, and also influenced the development of the Śāradā-derived Gurmukhī script.
