What's the difference between PHA and FA in Hindi Alphabets
in Feedback
I can't find Question and answer Category now. That's why am posting it in Feed back.

I have seen Hindi letters pronounced PHA and FA. For example Phool is different from Fool. Actually what's the difference between these two? Is there any difference in written script between these two letters? In Malayalam we don't have PHA.....but we have BHA and FA similar to Hindi. I want to know what's this PHA :whistle: :whistle: :S :S

    Dot below pha I think is not a Hindi alphabet but its in Urdu we pronounce it though I am not sure about it. :blink:

    I don't think you can use it in any way you want. Just as we write' phone' and not 'fone', 'flower' and not ' phlower' etc. there is a difference. If I am not mistaken PH should be used for those words that need to be used in' heavy tone' (I don't know if heavy is the correct word)

    Even I am also confused as I never thought of it. :blink:

    For me phone or fone are similar. :blink:

    'F' is Hindi alphabet. 'Phool' is Urdu word. There is slightly different pronunciation in Urdu. hence, this is marked by putting a point below 'f' in Devnagri script. The difference in pronunciation can be explained only by pronouncing and not by writing here.
