Moḍī (मोडी) is one of the scripts used to write the Marathi language, which is the primary language spoken in the state of Maharashtra in western India. There are several theories about the origin of this script. One of them claims that it was developed by Hemadpant (or Hemadri Pandit) during the reign of Mahadev Yadav and Ramdev Yadav (1260–1309). Others claim that it was brought by Hemandpant from Sri Lanka. It is a popular notion that only Marathi is written in Modi. Other languages that have also been found to have been written in Modi are Urdu, Kannada, Gujarati, Hindi and Tamil.
