Abstract
In a visual word recognition experiment, we transposed three Hindi orthographic units: letters (for consonants), letters (for vowels) or akshars (for consonant-vowel syllable). The accuracy measures show larger transposition effects for letters than akshars, underscoring the functionally alphabetic nature of Hindi.
