> I think this gives the wrong impression. The anusvara in 'hindi' represents an 'n' sound, rather than nasalisation. Candrabindu is a _nasalisation_ mark, and not an alternative for a syllable-final 'n' (there is no nasalisation in 'hindi'). In principle, the anusvara is an alternative for candrabindu when space is constrained, but not the other way around. That said, it does sometimes appear to be the case that some words _are_ spelled as if they were nasalised, or alternatively as if they had a syllable-final nasal, eg. snake at https://r12a.github.io/scripts/devanagari/hi.html#nasalisation I don't believe that applies to the word 'hindi' though. Super useful.
