Pronunciation differences among స, శ, ష / स, श, ष || Santoshi Nallanchakravartula

GREAT EXPLANATION OF DIFFERENCIATION OF PRONUNCIATION OF TELUGU LETTERS VERY NICELY WITH MUSIC... BEST WISHES...

[@krishnasubhasanthi6535]

I'm telling this to many of my friends who aren't agreeing. I'm very thankful to you, so that I can show this to them as a proof... Thank You so much akka 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Please do spread the right pronunciation for the long life of Indian languages.

[@prashanthreddy3326]

In parts of Andhra and may be in parts of Tamil Nadu as well, శ/श is pronounced as /sæ/ as in Sand Or Saree. Most educated people in many parts of India pronounce श/శ as "sh". शान्ति/శాంతి Shanti (not Santi) शिव/శివ Shiva (not Siva) श्रम / శ్రమ is shrama (not srema) in English due to lack of options we represent శ(श) and ష(ष) as "Sh" just like we have the one and only letter "L" to write both ల/ल and ళ/ळ in English. But we know that the difference between ల and ళ is the tongue position. ల is pronounced easily, but when we pronounce ళ, we should lift our tongue and take it little back (towards the roof of the mouth). Similarly శ/श is pronounced as a simple "sh" like "Shiva", but when we pronounce ष/ష like షణ్ముఖ/षण्मुख "Shanmukha", we should take our tongue backwards (towards the roof of the mouth). It's not easy to understand ష/ष and ళ/ळ by writing in English because it can be understood easily through audio and video. in Telugu, some people write the English word "Shop" as షాప్ , but in English the sound ష doesn't exist. But we can write Shop as శాప్ , because English "sh" is శ (श)

@@prashanthreddy3326 Absolutely right. It hurts me whenever I see this distortion happening. Main stream Telugu media is playing a huge role in this. I wish there is a way to get the language back on track.

[@alphabeta525]

@@prashanthreddy3326 I don't know why this habbit of pronouncing శ as /sæ/ crept in Andhra. There is no /æ/ in Telugu. Just by that logic itself you can prove that the pronunciation is wrong. Tamil Nadu though is clear about the non-existence of /æ/ in their language. They Just do 's' instead of 'sh' because they discarded sanskrit based letters in their language. They are clear about it. But in Telugu we are seeing this distortion.

[@alphabeta525]

@@prashanthreddy3326 Though I noticed one thing that, Kannadigas are doing it right. They right shop as శాప్ and not as షాప్.

[@venumukkamala3293]

kannada and telugu has great influence of sanskrit when we take words from sanskrit they have to pronounce according to sanskrit grammar

[@lilone286]

. The positions for the tongue to pronounce శ చ; ట ష; త స in Telugu are similar. Hindi has it pronounciation affected by urdu alphabets and sounds. In Urdu س (letter seen) ص (letter suad) have the same 'sa' sound and the ش (letter Sheen ) is the only 'sh' sounding letter. Hindi pronunciation would have got affected because of this influence since many people were using urdu script. In urdu script if you want write visesh (Vishesh in Hindi) you will write it as وشيش (4 letters are used without any vowel markers. Vao و for the va sound, ya ی for the ee sound and Sheen ش for the Sheen sound. notice the double usage of Sheen ش for the sh sound).This is also the case in Telangana where they were also using urdu script and their pronunciation of the language and vocabulary would have got corrupted over a period of many hundereds of years. This urdu effect I explained is not some hypothesis. If you want more convincing examples, take the spellings of hindu names in North India. Dharmendra, brahmendra, mahendra appear as dharmendar, barmendar , mahendar because urdu doesn't have consonantal clusters like ksha, dra etc. Similarly krishna became krishn because urdu does not allow short vowel endings. Krishn further became kirshan because of absence of kr cluster and gradually this name sometimes is spelt as Kishan. You will see such spellings of these names in Telangana also precisely because of the urdu influence.

Thank you so much for clarifying my doubt with good examples Madam. I have been facing trouble in pronouncing these letters. 🙏🙏🙏

[@manoharkommanamanchi]

I am sorry to say this that in english we can write sha but not శ.

[@prashanthreddy3326]

@@manoharkommanamanchi The 'sh' sound of english is equivalent to శ / श But english language doesn't have retroflex sounds like ళ(La) and ష(Sha) English language has normal ల('la') and normal 'sha'(శ). Actually I think some of the Telugu Media channels have created a confusion of pronunciation of శ. Instead of pronouncing దేశం(देशम्) as dēsham, some of our Telugu Media channels pronounce it as dēsam. My friend's father is from East Godavari district and he pronounce my name as Prasant instead of pronouncing it as Prashānt (ప్రశాంత్ / प्रशान्त्). That means he pronounces శ(sh) as 'sae' like the 'sa' sound present in sand / saffron

[@manoharkommanamanchi]

@@prashanthreddy3326 But actually what I learnt was that శ must be pronounced as sa (we get a small whistle) rather ష as (shha) which need to be more stressed. Now a days a h is being added to the former, make it more polished, pleasing to listen.

[@prashanthreddy3326]

@@manoharkommanamanchi There is nothing like to please someone. Only thing is that some people don't know the original sound of శ/श (sh). Actually if we go by Old Telugu or Old Kannada or Old Tamil, we don't have the aspirated sounds like ఖ, ఘ, ఛ, ఝ, ఠ, ఢ, థ, ధ, ఫ, భ, శ, ష, హ. We only had normal/simple క, గ, చ, జ, ట, డ, etc. We have taken these aspirated sounds from Samskrutam. So we should pronounce it as it is in సంస్కృతం. in Samskrutam we pronounce శ as 'sha' Therefore, శివ is pronounced as "shiva". There is a difference between శ(sha) and ష(Sha). I hope you know that ల is pronouced as a simple 'la' but when we pronounce ళ our tongue travels towards the roof of our mouth. Similarly, we pronounce శ as a simple/normal 'sha' but while pronouncing ష our tongue travels towards the roof of our mouth.

[@manoharkommanamanchi]

@@prashanthreddy3326 Haha that is very good discussion we have been in but I think rather we were fighting on the same side. This can be clarified simply... I was in agreement with the pronunciations in the above video after searching for many. So if you are as well in agreement with that then we both are on the same side. This gap arrived since we couldn't express those letters in English.

[@aishwaryapuvvada7391]

Very good idea of explaining the differences. I'm sure it will help many. Thank you so much

[@santoshinallanchakravartula]

Thank you.

[@madhavbhetanabhotla9459]

Thank you 🙏 still finding it hard to practice the subtle difference between simple sa and delicate sa. Visheshaka is one example where sha and delicate sa come next to each other making it difficult to pronounce

[@alphabeta525]

The pronunciation of శ in this video is absolutely wrong. శ is the English equivalent of 'sha'. And there is no English equivalent to ష. The tongue position for pronouncing స is similar to త, శ is similar to చ and ష is similar to ట. Hence you have the words in Telugu like ఆస్తి (స+త combination), ఆశ్చర్యం(శ+చ), కష్టము (ష+ట). If you try to pronunce slowly those three words without distorting the pronunciation of త, చ and ట you will see that స is 'sa' in English, శ is 'sha' in English and ష does not have an English equivalent. This kind of a pronunciation is a distortion. You can check how 'श' is pronounced. No one pronounces श like this. స = sa శ = sha ష does not have an English equivalent. And this kind of distortion happens only in the Costal Andhra region. No one else where in India pronounce శ(श) like this.

What is the meaning of word " nallanchakravartula " in your name . It is your surname (आस्पद) . I want to explore all languages and cultures of India especially south India. Politicians want to divide us on the basis of colour , language, culture , costumes etc etc for their divide & Rule policy to get political advancement. We the people of India should Unite & save our culture, heritage & spread love across the world . Jai Hind
