Master the Nepali Bahrakhari System
Bahrakhari (बाह्रखरी) is the system of combining each of the 36 Nepali consonants with 12 vowel signs (matras) to produce all possible syllables. Mastering Bahrakhari is the key step between learning individual letters and reading fluently. This game makes that practice interactive by quizzing you on consonant + matra combinations.
36 Consonants
Practice all Nepali consonants from क (ka) to ज्ञ (gya), organized by articulation groups like कवर्ग, चवर्ग, and more.
12 Vowel Matras
Learn how each vowel sign (ा, ि, ी, ु, ू, े, ै, ो, ौ, etc.) modifies consonants to create new sounds.
432 Combinations
36 consonants times 12 vowel forms creates 432 unique syllables. Master them all through repeated quiz-style practice.
How Bahrakhari Works
Every Nepali consonant has an inherent "a" sound. When you add a matra (vowel sign), the sound changes. For example, क (ka) + ा = का (kaa), क + ि = कि (ki). Understanding this system is essential because almost every Nepali word is built from these syllable combinations.
