Notes[mudé | muda l codesc]

↑ ^1,0 ^1,1 In the letter series beginning with क, क = क् + अ; ka = k + a. Thus 'क' has the inherent vowel 'अ', giving 'क' without added vowel sign using diacritics (The halanta "्" is removed). But the IPA shown here has the consonant 'k' only & does not include the vowel 'a'.
↑ /bʱ/ is pronounced either as [bʱ] or [v].
↑ ^3,0 ^3,1 /dʑ/ and /dʑʱ/ phonetically may be either [dʑ] and [dʑʱ], [dz] and [dzʱ] or [dʒ] and [dʒʱ] depending on the variety and speaker.
↑ /ɭ̆/ is pronounced either as [ɭ̆] or [ɭ].
↑ /pʰ/ is pronounced either as [pʰ] or [f].
↑ /s/ is pronounced either as [s] or [ɕ].
↑ ^7,0 ^7,1 /tɕ/ and /tɕʰ/ phonetically may be either [tɕ] and [tɕʰ] or [ts] and [tsʰ], [tʃ] and [tʃʰ] depending on the variety and speaker.
