To: sanskrit@cs.utah.edu Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Dear Mukesh, In Sanskrit, an anusvar is always pronounced as a M, regardless of what follows it. In Gujarati and other modern Indian languages, the anusvar's pronounciation varies according to different rules. The rule you mentioned about an anusvar being pronounced as a nasal (anunasika) is just one of those rules. Hence, we have Paramahamsa. -Mihir. -- Mihir M Sanghavi -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
