Glossary of Haryanavi Language
From Jatland Wiki
Notes
1. Hindi alphabets L () or and LL () are different. For example
L () is pronunciated as inKal () and the accent of LL () is like we
utter the word Hall (Plough )
2. Devanagari alphabets may not be visible on some computers -
some PCs do not supportDevanagari fonts. Those viewers should
install Devanagari font 'Mangal' - for details, pleasesee the
thread Tips for use of Hindi on your
computer(http://www.jatland.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13233) in
Tech Talk(http://www.jatland.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=17)
forum. You may also use the toolbar atthe bottom of the edit window
to add non english characters.
3. A simple technique to insert an equivalent hindi word to a
Romanized Haryanvi word is to typeand copy from Devnagari Editor
(http://www.chhahari.com/unicode/) .?
4. (Due care has been taken to ensure that the word is purely of
desi origion and is not commonlyused in written form in Hindi
language - however, there may be a few exceptions. The spellingsin
Roman alphabets have been set in such a way that the desi word is
pronunciated in themost accurate accent as far as possible. )
