To write “Shanti” (शांति) in Hindi using Devanagari script, follow these steps:
- श (sha)
- ा (ā matra/vowel extension) → Combined: शा (shā)
- ं (anusvara, representing the nasal “n” sound) → Combined: शां (shān)
- त (ta) + ि (i matra) → ति (ti)
Final spelling: शांति
Notes:
- शांति is the modern, standardized Hindi spelling, commonly used for “peace.”
- The Sanskrit-origin spelling शान्ति (with explicit “n”: न्) is also correct but less frequent in everyday Hindi.
Both forms are pronounced similarly: “shānti” (शान्ति/शांति).
