What is Gujarati and where is it spoken?

Gujarati (ગુજરાતી) is an Indo-Aryan language native to the state of Gujarat in western India, with about 57 million speakers — making it among the top 25 most-spoken languages worldwide. It is the mother tongue of Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel, and has a large diaspora in the UK, US and East Africa.

How is the Gujarati script different from Devanagari?

Gujarati uses its own abugida derived from the Devanagari family, but the letters are written without the horizontal 'shirorekha' headstroke — an aesthetic shift that began in the 17th century to speed up commercial bookkeeping. It has 11 vowels and 34 consonants, plus a small set of conjunct letters. LingoBear's tap-to-translate makes the script approachable.
