However in the past it was common to use a special pen to write the Devanagari script for Sanskrit and Hindi. The nib need to cut at an angle. Unfortunately the tradition of Devanagari calligraphy has died. There are very few individuals who can write devanagari in a proper calligraphic style. While the chinese still are trained in calligraphy, many educated Indians can barely write in an Indian script. The Newars have preserved the Indian calligaphic tradition, which they use for the Ranjana script of Nepal (and Tibet).
