Guest guest Posted May 19, 2002 Report Share Posted May 19, 2002 Dear Narsimha Rao Ram Krishn Hare I read your views about phonemes.I wanted to tell you that Hindi also uses Halant like Sanskrit.Most people are not aware of grammer and make such omissions while writing.All rules of Hindi grammer are same as Sanskrit. You had some dificulty with Sanjay regarding use of akarant words. Yoy might be aware that when SHIV is written as SHIVA most people pronounce it as Shivaa. You will find most words changing their gender from male to female by this besides incorrect pronounciation. In english a and aa are both denoted by letter A. You can find examples like calm,palm etc. In Hindi we normally end 'a'karant words without a and pronounce correctly. If a word ends in 'a' it is taken as 'aa'karant and similarly spoken. Otherwise how will you differentiate between KAMAL(Lotus) and KAMALA (Laxmi)? These are general conventions and may help you TO UNDERSTAND why we can not accept "SANJAYA" for "SANJAY".
