Hindi evolved out of Sanskrit as did many of the languages of northern India. The Devanagari script is an alphasyllabic script which has it's ultimate origins in the Phoenician abjad of about 1500 BCE. From Phoenicia, the alphabetic principle of writing spread eastward across Persia into northern India. All the scripts of India are derived from this earliest borrowing of Phoenician writing into South Asia. Most of them came through the so-called Asoka script as an intermediate step.
