1 Sanskrit Sounds 1.1 Sanskrit Language Transliteration Guide Given below the list of commonly used vowels (10) and consonants (31).

a like “a” in “Roman” A like “a” in “far” i like “i” in “pin” I like “ea” in “peak” u like “u” in “pull”

U like “u” in “rule” E like “ey” in “they” (without the off-glide) ai like “ai” in “aisle” O like “o” in “note” ou like “ow” in “now”

k like “k” in “sky” kh k with strong expulsion of breath g like “g” in “go” gh g with strong expulsion of breath ch like the second “ch” in “church” cch c with strong expulsion of breath j like “j” in “jam” jh j with a strong expulsion of breath T like “t” in “stop” with tongue curled further backward Th T with strong expulsion of breath D like “dd” in “odd” with tongue curled further backward Dh D with strong expulsion of breath N like “n” in “land” with tongue curled further backward t T with tongue starting just behind and touching upper teeth th t with strong expulsion of breath d D with tongue starting just behind and touching upper teeth dh d with a strong expulsion of breath n like “n” in “no” with tongue starting just behind and touching upper teeth

p like “p” in “spin” ph p with strong expulsion of breath b like “b” in “ban” bh b with strong expulsion of breath m like “m” in “man” y like “y” in “yes” r like “r” in “drama” l like “l” in “lion” v or w like “w” in “we” S like “sh” in “shall” sh approach the roof of the palatal dome with tip of the tongue and expel breath s like “ss” “lesson” h like “h” in “hope”

1.2 Vowel Projection Techniques Language is used for expression. For clear and powerful expression, the mouth must open freely while producing vowel sounds. This principle applies to all the world languages. In Sanskrit (and other Indian languages that use the same vowel sounds), here are the vowel production techniques:

• ‘A’ sound: Jaw drops down; sound resonates in the belly • ‘I’ sound: Mouth expands sideways; sound resonates in the ears • ‘U’ sound: Mouth comes forward forming a nozzle, cheeks bulging out due to air

pressure inside the mouth; sound resonates in the mouth • ‘E’ sound: Mouth expands sideways with tips going up; sound resonates in the belly • ‘O’ sound: Mouth comes forward forming a circle; sound resonates in the belly

1.3 Consonant Projection Techniques Each consonant is produced from a specific part of the head. Vowels are used to project the consonant sounds. For each of the 31 consonants listed in the above table, practice the vowel technique. For example, using ‘k’: kA, kI, kU, kE and kO.
