Conjunct Consonants in Sanskrit - Paperback

by Ulrich Stiehl (Author)

This scholarly treatise designed for linguists and typographers contains comprehensive statistics of conjunct consonants of the Sanskrit language, sorted by alphabet and by frequency with quotations from original Sanskrit texts. The linguistic statistics prove which consonantal sound combinations actually occur in Sanskrit. Based on these statistics, font designers can decide which ligatures they should include into their Devanagari fonts for typesetting Sanskrit texts.
