Usage

This template is used for formatting text in the Devanagari script. It accepts an obligatory parameter for the Devangari text and an optional second parameter for the transliteration:

  • {{lang-Deva|अर्जुन}} gives:
Devanagari: अर्जुन
  • {{lang-Deva|अर्जुन|arjuna}} gives:
Devanagari: अर्जुनClowan:Sparjuna

An optional third parameter specifies the transliteration scheme used (for example, IAST for IAST or ISO for ISO 15919). If the |link= parameter is set to no, the string Devanagari will not be linked.

When not to use

To format Devanagari text in a specified language, use one of the specific templates, like {{lang-hi}} for Hindi, {{lang-mr}} for Marathi, {{lang-ne}} for Nepali or {{lang-sa}} for Sanskrit.

To prevent the text Devanagari: from displaying, use {{transl}}: {{transl|und-Deva|some text}} if the language is undetermined. If the language is specified, use {{lang}}.
