Devanagari Extended is a Unicode block containing cantillation marks for writing the Samaveda, and nasalization marks for the [BLOCK:devanagari Devanagari script].
[BLOCK:devanagari Devanagari] is literally translated as divine urban script. It's a type of the Indian script called Nagari, which comes from the Old Indian script called [BLOCK:brahmi Brahmi]. It was created between the VIII and XII centuries. It's applied in various Indian languages and dialects, such as Hindu. The distinctive feature of Devanagari is that the script has an upper horizontal line, which serves as a base for the letters dangling from it.
