== Etymology ==
The name "Modi''"'' may be derived from the [[Marathi language|Marathi]] verb ''moḍaṇe'' ([[Marathi language|Marathi]]: मोडणे), which means "to bend or break". Modi is believed to be derived from broken Devanagari characters, which lends support to that particular etymology.<ref name=prop>{{cite web |url=https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2011/11212r2-n4034-modi.pdf |title=N4034: Proposal to Encode the Modi Script in ISO/IEC 10646 |first1=Anshuman |last1=Pandey |publisher=ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2/WG2 |date=5 November 2011}}</ref>
