NOTE ON THE PRONUNCIATION OF TRANSLITERATED SANSKRIT AND PALl WORDS The vowels are pronounced almost in the same way as in Italian, except that the sound of a approaches that of 0 in bond or u in but, and a that of a as in army. The consonants are as in English, except e, en in church; I, 4, l are cerebrals, to which English t, d, n almost correspond; t, d, n are pure dentals; kh, gh, eh, jh, !h, 41t, tit, dlt, ph, bh are the simple sounds plus an aspiration; 1'i is the French gll; r is usually pronounced as ri, and s: as sit.
