Gujarati is written in the Gujarati script, an abugida very similar to Devanagari but without the line at the top of the letters as in other Indo-Aryan alphabets. The earliest known document in the Gujarati script is a manuscript dating from the late 16th century. Until the 19th century, the Gujarati script was used mainly for writing letters and keeping accounts, while the Devanagari script was used in literary and academic texts.
