Marathi phonetic similarity with English words
While doing transliteration, I realised that the pronounciation expected from transliterated English text may create problems as the pronounciation of English words do not follow rigid phonetic equivalence and person conversant with English speaking may interprete the transliterated text based on English words.
Solution of this problem is to link the transliterated English text with English characters and words which give similar phonetic equivalence
Trasliterated text can be converted back to Marathi characters as it has one to one corresponence with Marathi characters, but its pronounciation should be as per spoken English characters and words.
This is rather tricky to understand, but I feel that it will help in proper pronounciation of Marathi characters and words.
Please remember that we have to use this exercise for recognizing Marathi characters
Some examples will clear the concept.
