Learn the Devanagari alphabet with active recall
These Sanskrit alphabet flashcards train recognition instead of passive rereading. Start with Devanagari and recall the IAST transliteration, then reverse the study direction to strengthen memory from both sides.
The full deck covers the independent Sanskrit vowels and the traditional consonant groups. For pronunciation details, use the Sanskrit pronunciation guide. To study the romanisation system in depth, read the IAST transliteration guide or practise conversions with the Devanagari and IAST converter.
