Similarity in shapes of Marathi Characters

I have written one blog about the similarities of shapes of different Marathi characters and had suggested that grouping of characters based on shape may prove to be useful for new learners of Marathi who can understand vocal Marathi but can't read and write.

I am giving below some groups indicating the similarity. If we concentrate on shape of basic character, it will be easy to learn other characters in that group.

However, as the grouping is based only on shape, the sounds they represent may vary widely. It is therefore necessary to remember the normal grouping based on phonetic sounds also.
