Hindi Letter ञ (nya) Worksheet
ञ is the tenth vyanjan of the Hindi varnamala and makes a soft nasal "nya" sound. It is a rare letter that almost always appears joined inside words, so this worksheet gives your child gentle, patient practice tracing its special shape.
We link ञ to the word ज्ञान (gyaan), meaning knowledge, where ञ hides inside the conjunct. Made for ages 2 to 7, these activities build letter recognition, sound awareness and careful tracing. Even an unusual letter becomes friendly when your little one traces it slowly and proudly.
Free for home and classroom use. The preview shows a sample of the printable worksheet.
