Learn Hindi (part 2(a), Phonetics)

This is the second part of my video series on learning Hindi language. This entire part is split up into 4 clips due to the length, subnamed 2a, 2b, 2c and 2d. This is 2 (a). Please watch this series if you want to learn any language, because it contains basics of phonetics. This subpart has the Places of Articulation.

Are Hindi and Sanskrit pronounced the same way? By this I mean if one learns the Devanagari through Hindi and the sounds of Hindi, does one also learn to pronounce Sanskrit correctly?

[ranjan2]

@jdbrown371 Yes, almost 95 % of Hindi-Sanskrit pronunciation are the same, and they both use exactly the same script of course. There are some phonetic exceptions, eg, the syncopation (loss) of the neutral vowel 'a' in the last syllable and inside certain words, but otherwise, both are the same.

one more question, ranjan2. how come people's voices sound diffrent all over the world?

[ranjan2]

Because of the slight differences in structure of vocal cords and areas and volumes of mouth cavity.

thanks so much. i love learning languages. and since i like watching bollywood movies, i think it'll be interesting to be able to speak the language

[ranjan2]

Yes true, writing is artificial. How can writing and script be real, when you can write English, French, Russian and even Hindi in the same Latin Alphabet? Writing is merely a tool.

[kittleboy]

I believe, this is useless

hi,hello,goodbye, how are you,.....?! where are these?!

[kittleboy]

Lets assume the following situation...suppose that the only thing we humans all went by was images of our places of articulation instead of writing (which is what i choose by the way). Yet if a person says a sentence while eating food then how can I know were the places of articulation are moving with all that food in the person's mouth? Wouldnt that be hard to find out was he was saying through his places of articulation during the time he was eating food?
