CAS LN 211 Study Guide - Quiz Guide: Kalam, Nuqta
Document Summary
I"m currently working on the second part the similar sounds lesson. Before i post that though i"m updating old parts of the consonants section! Here is the completely new version of lesson #54 now with audio! So far we"ve covered all of the main hindi consonants but unfortunately there"s still a bit more for us to learn! Today we"re going to learn about some additional consonants that are mostly used to represent sounds that have come from arabic, persian or even english and that don"t quite exist in the hindi alphabet. This lesson is all about what"s called the nuqtaa or nuktaa in hindi - which is just a name for a little dot that can sit under a consonant and modify its sound. As you read this lesson you will see that many of these sounds are ignored by many hindi speakers - but make sure you pay attention to and which always have a distinct sound!
