Talk:Assamese alphabet

message: So someone has changed the three letter-"zô"s in the table to be called "jô", "jhô", and "zô". Unless I am totally mistaken, aren't these letters all pronounced the same in assamese? I believe that there is variation across speaker - where some people say "z", others say "j"... but I don't think that anyone pronounces the three letters as different from each other, right?
I'm not 100% familiar with this language, but I know that all the research I have seen in the language has agreed that the three letters are not distinguished in modern Assamese pronunciation, similar to the situation of the three letter-"xô"s.
Would anyone be able to fill me in on this, so I can make the appropriate revisions to the chart if necessary?
Also - how is the name of the letter described as "eeio" pronounced? Isn't it just "io"? It seems odd to have four vowels ("eeio") in the name.

replies: text: I would say the "jh" sound exists in Assamese (ঝ).  But this is from what I imagine I have heard, and leave it to the experts to decide.  I would imagine that জ   	 and য are very similarly pronounced.  The letter   ঞ is called "niyo" but pronounced "iyo" with slight nasalization.  So "eeio" is definitely wrong.

text: Agreed the ঝ "jh" sound exists in Assamese, like in jhorna ঝৰ্ণা = jhorna. However জ and য are pronounced the same. Regarding "eeio", are you referring to য় (ôntôsthô yô)? Now, the table looks Ok. So is for ঞ (nio). Bikram98 18:20, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The three "zô"s, and "eeio" 

message: I copy-pasted material from the Bengali script article, and modified it for Assamese. Since I'm not an expert on the Assamese letter names, it'd be really helpful if someone could go through and check that I changed the Bengali letter names correctly to fit to Assamese alphabet. Please feel free to add more information, and if you have questions about what I added, please let me know. Thanks! --SameerKhan 02:10, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

message: As far as I am aware traditionally the modifiers are placed with the consonants.  The last four entries in the consonants are always ৎ, ং, ঃ and ৺.  Should they be placed with the consonants or separately as modifiers here?  Chaipau 20:25, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

message: It's time to see that "Assamese script" redirects to "Assamese alphabet" as if there's no script named so. It's time that we work towards creating the script page separately (sans the "Eastern Nagari" tag of course) putting all the correct references in due places. ‍‍‍Gitartha.bordoloi (talk) 19:03, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

replies: text:  The page was moved with the following comment: "moved Assamese script to Assamese alphabet: we use 'alphabet' for the main segmental scripts; we should be consistent with the others".  And "A segmental script has graphemes which represent the phonemes (basic unit of sound) of a language." Defined here.  So it is appropriate.  Chaipau (talk) 16:12, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

message: * Since currently Unicode does not show any script by name Assamese script; why do you need this page?
* In your consonant cluster section shouldn't it be kkô instead of kka as you defined consonant kô and so on for all conjuncts?

thread_title:  Why Assamese alphabet 

message: Merge the Bengali script and Assamese script articles as Bengali-Assamese script, As Bengali language and Assamese language shares the same writing script (with exception of three alphabets in difference), both language scripts have the same origin and style of use. Both articles can be merged as Bengali-Assamese script as only Bengali and Assamese (and related influenced minor languages like Bishnupriya Manipuri and Kokborok) use this script, and is unique in it's use in Bengali and Assamese, and hence also does'not have a specific name as Devanagari script has. So it shall be as Bengali-Assamese script, The same script shall not be separated in to two. As Bengali-Assamese script article is created it can have a note on the three letter variations. Hope for Positive thoughts. Thank you. BijoyChakrabarty (talk) 16:19, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

message: ,  Hi the section "consonant clusters" contains lots of misleading informations. Sound that don't exist in Assamese phonology, like dental and cerebral consonants are mentioned there. The Assamese orthography is based on traditional and Sanskrit rules so the names of the letters are like "long i, retroflex t, dental d, retroflex r" etc which mislead people. The phonology is very different from the spellings.  Msasag (talk) 13:15, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
