replies: text: The articles need a lot more cleanup and work, IAST mistakes, grammatical and orthographic mistakes are rampant. Restructuring is needed, sections with 2-3 lines make no sense. Also it reads more like a poetic article than a Wikipedia article. Nmisra (talk) 14:21, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quality rating 

message: Due to schwa syncope in Hindi and allied languages (of which Awadhi is one), the correct transliteration of रामचरितमानस is Ramcharitmanas, and not Ramacharitamanasa, as it would be if it were Sanskrit. Ramacharitamanas is incorrect (it's like writing Uttara Pradesha for उत्तर प्रदेश). Sanskrit-familiarity plus Hindi-unfamiliarity often creates this problem. I am correcting this in the text of the article, and may it altogether to the new title at some point. Please see the schwa article for more details, and we can obviously discuss it here as well. Thanks. --Hunnjazal (talk) 03:47, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Whether the IAST version is used or the Hindi transliteration, all possible transliterations must be mentioned in the header and only one should be used in the article throughout. Nmisra (talk) 23:58, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Incorrect title spelling (Schwa issues)

message: As discussed above, the correct Hindi/Avadhi pronunciation of रामचरितमानस is Ramcharitmanas, due to schwa deletion in the languages of the Hindi family. A simple Google search yields 48k hits for Ramacharitamanasa and 26k hits for Ramacharitamanas. There are an order of magnitude more hits for Ramcharitmanas at 405k. 
To answer some simple questions in advance: Hindi languages and Sanskrit differ in their use of Devanagari on this score. This is sometimes confusing for Sanskrit-adept but Hindi-non-adept people/experts. The schwa-treatment also means that Hindi is partially non-phonetic in its use of Nagri. For example, the same letter sequence can be pronounced two different ways in Hindi-Nagri depending on context, e.g. in दिल धड़कने लगा (the heart started beating) vs दिल की धड़कनें (beats of the heart), the identical (pre-nasalization) letter sequence धड़कने is pronounced dharakne in the first and dharkane in the second. This is not an obscure academic point because it leads to effects ranging from systematic mispronunciation (and consequent non-fluency of non-native speakers who otherwise are able to speak Hindi) and challenges in building text-to-speech software for Hindi. There are references galore on this (here are a couple to start with bit.ly/d7eKgA and bit.ly/aRNOal). When Sanskrit schwa rules are applied to Hindi sometimes really bizarre things happen, e.g. when English is transliterated into Hindi using Hindi-Nagri rules but then transliterated back into English using Sanskrit Nagri rules. England becomes Inglanda (e.g. bit.ly/csbMxE) or Ingalanda, though native Hindi-speakers all say Ingland. Similarly, Uttara Pradesha (bit.ly/auYBSK), or a really hilarious Eka aura Hindustana for Ek aur Hindustan (bit.ly/b99CoS). --Hunnjazal (talk) 21:43, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess this wasn't really controversial to start with. Moving it to the correct name now. --Hunnjazal (talk) 02:09, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
