Sanskrit Vowels & Consonants - how to pronounce

Highlighting the Diacritics

THE BIGGEST SECRET

(FOR ENGLISH SPEAKERS ESPECIALLY)

~ SANSKRIT PRONUNCIATION CRACKED WIDE OPEN ~

The key to clearly understanding what makes the word sound ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ to the native speaker is to visualize A BOUNCING BALL….and think of THE MAN WITH 1 or 2 WIVES.  

This BOUNCING BALL will always start the sound off with the consonant on the left of the vowel:-

If it is a ‘SHOT’ vowel, the sound-ball jumps from the initial sound, across that vowel, to the next sound.

However, if it is a ‘LOOOONG’ vowel, the sound jumps directly onto that loooong vowel, and the next sound is added in like an after-thought.  Here we illustrate that bouncing ball using common words:

N.B.   In the above lists, if we pronounce the word on the left as if it were the word on the right, & vice versa, we will feel distaste in our mouths! Try it: “It is a SEEN to tell lies!”  However, this feeling of distaste when mixing up short & long vowels happens only with our Mother tongue, not when we speak other languages! Our ears are actually deaf to such errors in languages not learnt during early childhood!

A learned scholar of Urdu deeply appreciates the universalizing power of ROMANIZED SANSKRIT:-

________

Typing Sanskṛt with Diacrtics is FUN AND EASY! -

www.tiny.cc/typesanskrit   

To type "mṛtyu-saṁsāra-sāgarāt", all I just did was to type:

m;rtyu-sams;ara-s;agar;at    - that's all!

Just by adding in ; before the letter and a diacritic magically appears!  How is this possible?  

It's possible because of two things:- recent advancements in Unicode font technology and a very simple (no need to install - just save 2 tiny files and click one of them!) Read all about it here: www.tiny.cc/typesanskrit   

Everything you need to know, in a step-by-step beginner's guide, for how to install and use the very simple Diacwin Unicode free keyboard filter for typing Sanskṛit with accurate diacritics.  

(You can even convert Romanized Sanskṛt into Devanāgarī =  देवनागरी with the Devawin converter, also made by Michael Best @ Murāri Dāsa,  or you can do it online very easily here:  www.tiny.cc/devanagari)
