Hinglish captions: Devanagari, Roman or English?
For Hinglish videos, Roman-script captions usually match how viewers chat and read on their phones, Devanagari suits audiences who read Hindi natively, and English works for viewers outside the Hindi belt. Whichever you pick, keep English words in English and stick to one script per video.
Why Hinglish is hard for caption tools
In Hinglish, Hindi and English share a sentence: "Yeh feature bahut useful hai." Many transcription tools expect one language per video, so they either write the English words as Hindi sounds or split the sentence into two languages. The result reads badly in any script.
Good Hinglish captions keep the sentence whole and keep each English word recognisably English.
The three options
Roman script ("Yeh feature bahut useful hai") matches how most young viewers type Hindi in chats, so it is fast for them to read. It also works for viewers who speak Hindi but never learned Devanagari.
Devanagari with English in Latin letters ("यह feature बहुत useful है") reads naturally to people who learned Hindi at school, and looks more formal.
English ("This feature is really useful") gives the meaning to viewers who don't speak Hindi, at the cost of the speaker's voice and humour.
How to choose
Look at your comments: the script your audience writes in is usually the one they read fastest. Entertainment and lifestyle creators often choose Roman script; education and news channels often choose Devanagari; creators with a national or overseas audience sometimes choose English.
Tip: Don't mix scripts within one video. Switching between Devanagari and Roman from line to line looks like an error.

Which script gets more views?
No script guarantees views. The best choice is the one your viewers read most easily.
