These names are more likely to be found in places that speak an Indo-Aryan language like Bhojpuri or Gujarati.
So, in the names 'Khare', 'Ghanshyam', 'Kaccha', 'Jhumki', 'Vitthal', 'Ranchodh', 'Uddhav', 'Phaneesh', and 'Bhanu,' the 'h' means the sound before it should be pronounced with a strong outward breath (see Aspirated consonant for more on this). The letter 'h' is used to represent aspirated consonants. Similarly the name 'Tarun' would not have its first consonant sounded as in 'Tom'. As an example, the Indian name 'Dev' would not have its first consonant pronounced as in the American name 'Dave'. Although some languages, like Kannada or Tamil may have different vowel sounds, the ones used in most major Indian languages are represented in this table along with typical English transcriptions.įurthermore, the letters used in English /t/ and /d/ that are used to represent the retroflex stops /ʈ/ and /ɖ/, are also used to represent dental stops /t̪/ and /d̪/ (as in Tenginkai or Rohit), especially when they occur in the onset of a word.
When written in Latin script, Indian names may use the vowel characters to denote sounds different from conventional American or British English.
