Key to Punjabi Pronunciation There are a number of sounds that are different in English and Punjabi or are totally absent in English. To help you pronounce the sounds based on your knowledge of English, the following phonetic system is employed in this series of books. (The comparable English sounds are supposed to be produced by the native English speakers, not by speakers of English as a second language.) This is not a standardized system yet. The best way to learn the pronunciation is to ask a native speaker of the language to model the sounds for you. a aa ai au e

THE SIX SOUND MODIFIERS In Gurmukhi script, there are six symbols that when used in conjuction with certain consonants and matras, modify those sounds. Chhota Haaha Q. This symbol literally means short 'h' and it is used to add a partial 'h' sound (emphasis) in some words e.g. whale is "" and the 'h' is sounded softly. written as ~ Chhota Raara Q. This symbol literally means short 'r' and it is used to add a brief 'r' sound in some words e.g. Christmas is written as ~ and the 'r' is sounded briefly.
Q.
Chhota Vavva This symbol literally Ineans short 'v' and it is used to add a partial 'v' sound in some words e.g. svarg (heaven) is written as ~ and the 'v' is sounded briefly. v
Ac;lc;lhak D. This symbol is used to stress the sound of the consonant on which it is added just like double consonants are used in English to stress the sound of a consonant e.g. Lilly would be written as ~ and second 'I' is stressed. Without the Ac;lc;lhak" Lilly would sound as Lily, without any stress on '1'. n
Tippi D. This symbol is used to add a partial nasal sound to words e.g. 'm' in limp-fFfu. Tippi is used with Mukta words, Aunkar, Dulainkar and Sihaari. Bindi D. This symbol is used to add a partial nasal sound to words e.g. 'n' in candy-c}it. Bindi is used with all the other Matras.
