Jana Gana Mana

"**Jana Gana Mana**" (; ; ; ) is the national anthem of India. The original words were written in the Bengali language. It was originally a five-verse poem created in 1911 by Rabindranath Tagore—the same author for the Bangladeshi anthem. In January 1950, just the first verse was made to be officially part of the national anthem of India per the Constituent Assembly of India. In addition, the lyrics now contain many words of Sanskrit origin.

Thy name rouses the hearts of Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat and Maratha, Of the Dravida and Odisha and Bengal; It echoes in the hills of Vindhya and the Himalayas, Mingles in the music of Ganga and Yamuna and is chanted by The waves of the Indian sea. They pray for thy blessings and sing thy praise. The saving of all people waits in thy hand, Thou dispenser of India's destiny. Victory, victory, victory to thee.</poem>|
- Transcriptions
The parenthesis mean that the vowel in them is not usually pronounced (sounded out) in regular speech, but is the case when singing, such as in this song. The title "Jana Gana Mana" is usually just pronounced as "Jan Gan Man"—the short _a_ is pronounced like the __ in the English word _bout_. The _ā_ (_a_ with a line above it, or long _a_), on the other hand, shows that the _a_ is pronounced like the _a_ in the English word _fther_.
