The name Siddham comes from Sanskrit and means "accomplished or perfected". The Siddham script is mainly used by Shingon Buddhists in Japan to write out mantra and sutras in Sanskrit. It was introduced to Japan by Kukai in 806 AD after he had studied Sanskrit and Mantrayana Buddhism in China. In Japan the Siddham script is known as 梵字 (bonji).</p> <h2>Notable features</h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://www-omniglot-com.translate.goog/writing/types.htm?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB">Type of writing system</a>: <a href="https://www-omniglot-com.translate.goog/writing/abugidas.htm?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB">Abugida / Syllabic Alphabet</a></li> <li><a href="https://www-omniglot-com.translate.goog/writing/direction.htm?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB">Writing direction</a>: left to right in horizontal lines.</li> <li>Used to write: <a href="https://www-omniglot-com.translate.goog/writing/sanskrit.htm?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB">Sanskrit</a></li> <li><a href="https://www-omniglot-com.translate.goog/writing/scriptfamilies.htm?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB">Script family</a>: <a href="https://www-omniglot-com.translate.goog/writing/protosinaitc.htm?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB">Proto-Sinaitic</a>, <a href="https://www-omniglot-com.translate.goog/writing/phoenician.htm?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB">Phoenician</a>, <a href="https://www-omniglot-com.translate.goog/writing/aramaic.htm?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB">Aramaic</a>, <a href="https://www-omniglot-com.translate.goog/writing/brahmi.htm?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB">Brāhmī</a>, <a href="https://www-omniglot-com.translate.goog/writing/gupta.htm?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB">Gupta</a>, Siddham</li> </ul> <h2>Siddham script</h2> <p><img src="../images/writing/siddham.gif" width="613" height="1135" alt="Siddham script"></p> <p>See how to write the Siddham letters:</p> <div class="intrinsic-container intrinsic-container-16x9"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bZZRlijcWAs" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div> <div class="intrinsic-container intrinsic-container-16x9"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NSGJ879rLdo" allowfullscreen></iframe> </div> <h2>Sample text in Sanskrit in the Siddham alphabet</h2> <p><img src="../images/langsamples/udhr_siddham.gif" width="597" height="181" alt="Sample text in Sanskrit in the Siddham alphabet"></p> <h3>Transliteration</h3> <p>Sarvē mānavāḥ svatantrāḥ samutpannāḥ vartantē api ca, gauravadr̥śā adhikāradr̥śā ca samānāḥ ēva vartantē.
