Diphthongs
When used alone, diphthongs can be written as Vowel Independent Form or Diphthong Independent Form, they are All Accepted
When i (इ) is written as first letter in diphthongs, the following vowel should always be written as the Independent Form (e.g. आ instead of the Diacritic Form ा). By this way, we are able to seperate words start with kai... (काि...) the ones start with kia... (किआ...). If not, we will get kai... (काि...) and kia... (किा...), which is hard to tell the differences by a normal human.
| Latin | देवनागरी (Vowel Indepdt. Form) | देवनागरी (Diphthong Indepdt. Form) | देवनागरी (Diacritic Form) | देवनागरी (Diacritic Form with 'k/क') |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ai | आइ | आि | ाि | काि |
| ei | एइ | एि | ेि | केि * |
| oi | ओइ | ओि | ोि | कोि |
| au | आउ | आु | ाु | काु |
| ia | इआ | इा | िआ | किआ |
| ie | इए | इे | िए | किए |
| ii | इइ | ई | ी | की |
| io | इओ | इो | िओ | किओ |
| iu | इउ | इु | िउ | किउ |
| ua | उआ | उा | ुा | कुा |
| ue | उए | उे | ुे | कुे |

| iy | इअ | इअ | िअ | किअ |
| uy | उअ | उअ | ुअ | कुअ |
* When kei is written in as केि, it may not be rendered properly by every font. Hence, Devanagari Vowel ai (ऐ / ै) is also acceptable to be used as ei, so kei can also be written as कै.
