We saw in previous lesson how Barakshari is made up of combinations of vyanjans (consonants) and swars (vowels). In this lesson, we will see how vyanjans (consonants) are formed into another set of letters.
Anuswar, indicating "an" sound is added on almost all combinations of letters. This results, into another combination of letters, an example of use of anuswar (a dot on top) is shown here for letter "Ka". It can be applied to rest of the letters.
| fk | ftk | ®f | f´ | fwk | fqk | fU | fI | ftU | ftI |
At times, a word might end with a half letter. A half letter is expressed with a
stroke at the bottom of the letter.
| fT | zT | xT | nT |
When you add "r" consonant to other consonants, the new combination
comes up, which is expressed as below. The combination of "ha" and "ra" can be expressed in two ways. Both are shown below.
| f | + | h | = | f |
| f | F | d | D | s |
| l | n | d | d | d |
| d | d | d | d | d |
The combinations with "r" before consonants are expressed with a semi circle called "ref" on top. They are expressed as below.
The combinations with "roo" after consonants are expressed with a semi circle at the bottom. They are expressed as below
Then there are a few unusual combination of two consonants, which are expressed below. This includes half letter added to itself.
Roo and Aum are two independant characters shown below.
This concludes lesson 6. Let's proceed to Lesson 7.
