Awesome shot! I had never thought about typewriters (now keyboards) having different letters until I moved to France. It was obvious then, but unless you're thinking about it, you just don't! I love the composition of this shot!
I agree Michael! Did you know that even though their both in "english", the American and English keyboards are different too?
QWERTY vs ASERTY. After living in Belgium for three years I finally mastered the ASERTY keyboard. Now having been back in the US for 20 years I still Q when I want A.
I would never have learned devanagari.
this is a VERY interesting shot..have never thought about it...how many alphabets does hindi language got?
i think.. 33 consonant sounds and 13 vowel sounds. each letter/character represents a sound - hindi is a phonetic language. it is pronounced exactly as its written. so if you can master the letters, then you are well on your way. of course you may not know what the word means even if you can sound it out!
i can read some, but get confused with the vowels (and of course the actual sound i'm supposed to make!)
Nice shot and interesting post
