The book Conjunct Consonants in Sanskrit (see Preview) is the first scientific treatise which does not invent conjunct consonants, but proves which conjunct consonants really occur in original Sanskrit texts. This scholarly treatise designed for linguists and typographers contains comprehensive statistics of conjunct consonants of the Sanskrit language, sorted by alphabet and by frequency with quotations from original Sanskrit texts. Based on these statistics, font designers can decide which ligatures they should include into their Devanagari fonts for typesetting Sanskrit texts.
