Explanations:

  1. The long vowel is no longer in vogue in Hindi, it has, therefore, not been included in the list of vowels.
  2. Conjunct letters:
    1. Consonants with verrical line ( ܃) :

      2. Conjunct letters, in case of these consonants, should be formed by removing the vertical line, e.g.

      ܹ, ܊, ܋, ō, , ܑܛ, ܊ܵ, , ܋, ܹ, ܬ, ܬ, ٝ, ܞ, , ܡ, ܽ, ܬ, ܽ, ܫ, , ܮ

    2. Other consonants :
    1. The present form of the conjunct and should continue, e.g. ܿܺ, ƈ, ܣ

      2. (not as ܿܺ, ƈ, ܣ)

    2. The conjunct forms of and should be made by adding the ۥ symbol ( ) , e.g. ܌ܡ ܒÒ ܺÁ á etc. (not as ܌ßܡ ܒÒ ܺÁ )
    3. All the three old formsof conjunct should continue; as ψܣ, ܟ, ܫ
    4. should be written in the old style as in .
    5. Conjunct form of and should be written as insotead of (Later, the form as in vogue earlier, has also been approved).
    6. Conjunct coonsonant with may also be formed with ۥ symbol besides that in vogue e.g. and Û (but not ).
    7. The old style of conjunct forms of letters may continue in Sanskrit text.
  1. All other symbols or marks of punctuation which are either used or have naturalised themselves into Hindi and as approved by the Government of India on the advice of experts in the field shall continue to be used as before. A few instances are :-

(i) The use of headline.

  1. (a) Except for the full-stop, all punctuation marks as current in English e.g.- _, ; ? ! . (The symbol for visarga should also serve as a colon)
    1. For full-stop (.), a vertical line ( ) should be used.
    2. The following symbols be incorporated in the typewriter keyboard, as far as possible
