im a mauritian with indian roots...im intermediate in hindi, started to learn sanskrit in the past but only at beginner level and had already forgot some of the pronunciation of letters, ur video revives my memory and letters such as 'lrr' i ddnt even know existed...thanks
Thank you for the concise lesson. It really clears up some confusion and helps me with my mantra chanting. And I love the birds singing in the background.
Thank you :) Haha yes it was recorded in Bali. Are there any more video suggestions that could help you with chanting / sanskrit? I am planning on making some new ones
You did a good job. For a foreigner I totally understand how difficult it would have been for you to understand the sounds at the first place. Keep up the good work.
Every human being should learn Sanskriet during the first 20 years of life so we could all understand each other and know from the heart we are all from one.
WOW!! Your video is so amazingly easy to understand and super nicely illustrated. Your pronunciation is just as perfect as can be. Thank you so much for this great video!!!!
She is Saying the letters भ घ ध झ ढ फ ख छ ठ With too much pressure which are a wrong pronunciation of those sounds. She is putting too much force in it. They have to be spoken much gently than what she has pronunce
For learning Sanskrit it's a very useful for children or begining age.your trying is admirable.we can learn both language Sanskrit and English.what can I help you? Really it help us to learn Sanskrit.
Lakshya Yoga can you help me a little bit please. I have a trouble with the(kSa) in Sanskrit i dont know how to spell it.should i spell K+sa or Sha! Please help me beauty!
Evan Nguyen the letter क्ष is pronounced as KSHA. first say the K and then add the SH sound from the back of the throat. :) let me know if you need any more help
Excellent one with the drawing and i started to learn sanskrit a while ago but stopped, since i am from Tamil i able to catch quickly all these production of varna, i also chant rudram, chandi, and more..for a long time but using the book to learn the letters is little different than i thought, but this helps even more, but i don't get the example of "but" as in english with b its hard to put it in the pronunciation for sanskrit ah, because its ah like account or amma actually,, than uh, like in but, thats only confusion, never seems connecting
thanks for this clear explanation. I watch this video every day and write down the characters. I'm slowly starting to recognize them. the reward is at the end with the beautiful bird sound. "Prii Prii Prii Prii Prii". How would you translate that into Sanskrit?
This is so helpful!! Could you please post a link to the alphabet chart? I can't find this particular version anywhere and it is so concise and well-designed! Thank you!!
+CHIRAN KARKI (NIMESH) that is the Hindi alphabet and not Sanskrit. These are actually conjunct consonants because they are made with two letters together. There are many conjunct consonants so they are not part of this video.
+Lakshya Yoga sorry I'm nepali and both hindi and nepali language are came from sanskrit, thank you for this info. I also know these letter are made by mixture of another latter. but I didn't know these are in sanskrit or not.. क्ष = क्+श त्र= त्+र ज्ञ= ज्+ञ
True, they are not letters, they are ligatures (sandhi) : क्ष (kṣa) is a ligature of क (ka) and ष (ṣa). त्र (tra) is a ligature of त (ta) and र (ra). ज्ञ (jña) is a ligature of ज (ja) and ञ (ña).
She is Saying the letters भ घ ध झ ढ फ ख छ ठ With too much pressure which are a wrong pronunciation of those sounds. She is putting too much force in it. They have to be spoken much gently than what she has pronunce. And she has used wrong words too for their sound in English. That not how they sound.
@@pm05211989 Try saying it to feel the difference, then maybe you'll hear the difference. For dental the tip of the tongue touches the back of the top front teeth, right? Say "delta" and feel where your tongue goes for the d. For retroflex the tip of the tongue touches the roof of the mouth. Put your tongue there and say "dental", can you feel and hear the difference? Does it sound "more Indian"? For myself honestly I'm only familiar with the Mandarin retroflex, which is spelled in pinyin with "r". So the word "ren" (person) starts with an initial retroflex "r." French speakers tend to say this word like the French word "jeune." Maybe you could compare saying the word "dental" with a French "j" at the beginning - this isn't the sound you want, this would only be for comparison. The kind of difference where only one sound differs in two words e.g. pit/pat, pit/bit etc. is called a minimal pair. Maybe you can find some practice in "discriminating minimal pairs involving Sanskrit (or Hindi etc) retroflex sounds."
Sanskrit is Sanskrit, let start from today initially it may be hard, for the very beginners but let not be worried, one day it will be fully computer language as well as computer friendly language. hope, the day will come,
Who, (apart from those who know or are studying Sanskrit) know that Sanskrit has, apart from एकवचनम् (singular number) and बहुवचनम् (Plural number), a द्विवचनम् (Dual number) as well. How many Indo European languages can claim that feature?
kind of confused I got the lr down but in the first shown chart the dental l is different from the dental l you showed in the semivowels section, is there special rules on how to write it? thank you :)
+uFrances B Yes the dental L which is ल is just simple "la" and its a consonant. the Lr is a semivowel and has a little hoop at the bottom: लृ . this letter is very rare, you will hardly see it being used.
Dear Lakshya! Can you help me a litter bit please? i really don't know how to spell a N sound with a dot below.Exemple: "daNDa" the N with a dot below now on the back of the A sound!So how i can spell it correctly.i really got trouble with it.please help me Lakshya!
+Nguyễn Evan "is on the back" when it comes before the "a/i/u" sound? its a bit hard to explain in typing, but you have to flick the top of the tongue against your palate, and then say the next letter.... in english if we say "ni", the tongue is placed on the palate close to the teeth... in sanskrit, "ṇi" you have to bring the tongue further back, somewhere in the middle of the mouth, and then say the same word.... Makes sense?
+Lakshya Yoga Dear Lakshya!Yes like you said Lakshya,i was know how to Pronouce all sanskrit alphabet like you was teach on the video.but my trouble is: the N sound is back of the A,i,u.....when it before the a,i,u we will flick the top of the tongue again my palate.but when it on the back so how we pronouce it,exemple: aN/iN/uN.....help me Lakshya
+Nguyễn Evan so its the same thing if it comes after...except you don't flick it you just keep it there. in danda, the d is also pronounced from the same spot... so you say da normally, then "nd" comes and you bring the tip of the tongue to the palate in the centre, pronounce these both letters from there, and then let go and say the last 'a'

This was really good thank you. I feel that to help out some of the examples you could use American expression's. I teach my friends Spanish all the time and it's kind of funnt because they will remember it more. I'l include an example. for NA you could use Nah like no. An then N~A (can't make that letter) maybe that phrase, "Oh what do you do?" "nunya" "excuse me" and usually on the last response they do the N~ sounnd "N~unya business". Also VA is like when a historian says vase they say it with emphasis on the VA like VAss. Really enjoyed listening to you explain everything thought. Oh yeah and CHA you can just tell people to think oh a rapper when they say yeaaaah, it's more like Cheeeah. This is wh teaching can be funny finding links that are memorable.
10)The Khmer lexicon includes a large body of fully integrated loan words, principally from Sanskrit and Pali languages of India. First period covers Pre Angkor and Angkor periods (7th to 14th centuries CE): we find inscriptions on stone in Sanskrit and Pali.

The pronunciation of ऌ is wrong. There is no r sound in ऌ only L sound. Also the anusvara अं and the visarga अः are not vowels. In fact these two are neither vowels nor consonants. Also palate is not the roof of the mouth. It's the cerebrum that's the roof of the mouth. The palate is the backside of your upper gum, the area just above your upper row of teeth. Also ha ह isn't a semivowel. It's a sibilant too and comes after sa स, it comes after the three sibilants, it is the last letter of the sanskrit alphabet.
