Notes

Capital letters denote aspirated consonants, which are pronounced with a great escape of air (transcribed as h)

Letters foliowed by the key w are called cerebral or retroflex consonants. They are pronounced with the tongue curled back. They are trans cribed with a dot beneath.

The reduced forms are used before another consonant. The normal forms automatically include the vowel d)
