Reading Hindi with IPA symbols - Preparatory/Primary school - [ə],a / ā,[a:] Matra

 In this post, I have reading matter – words and sentences with IPA symbols to help the non-Hindi speakers. Many subscribers earlier had requested this particular topic to help them teach their English speaking kids.

·       It is important to be able to distinguish between short and long vowels for correct pronunciation because these vowels, in combination with consonants, are used to form words.

·       It is noteworthy that many consonants which are part of the Hindi language do not exist in English. ड़/ढ़ are difficult to pronounce in English.

·       Following consonants with a नुक्ता (dot) under the alphabet is part of Urdu and Persian words. eg. क़लाम, ख़ान, ग़ैर जहाज़, ज़ीरा, फ़नकार


   क़    ख़    ग़   ज़    फ़   ड़      ढ़

         [q]     [x]      [ɣ]     [z]      [f]     [ɽ]    [ɽʱ]    (IPL)

 

  In this post, I have taken up Hindi words and sentences with अ,आ  matra.
