We are understanding the principles of the Indian framework of scripts which aligns with the Acoustics. There are many fold facets to the formation of the words in Indian linguistics. Which we shall keep aside to study as we progress in the class. But the benefits are none the less obtained.
The physical form of the letters are matched to the articulation. This words you are reading at the moment are not cohesive. They all are separated with a space and similar in appearance but does not show its unique role.
I mean to say that a vowel can have its independent existence (stand alone) or a mixed effect (fusion like Ma, Mi, Mu ) with a consonant in a word. The role of vowel shall get clear notification from its appearance in the text to avoid any mispronunciation. It shall eliminate the geographical influence and remain unique globally.
Sometimes we feel awkward if we read a foreign word and can not pronounce in their locally accepted way. The reason is not that a person taught in Indian script is incapable to pronounce it correctly but the real reason is that most foreign dialects to its scripts are logically apart and need memorization. The dialects are local and mapped on foreign script which misguides a foreigner. They are tailored to suit the local need and not on principles of acoustics. A lack of technical understanding brings one in a awkward position.
We seen a vowel can perform solo or in fusion. Similarly if there is not vowel in between two consonants they are shown as a coupling.
Some fusion of the consonants are given a separate design/ pattern in itself as follows.
The Indian scripts drives the writing practices to an excellent level to provide a tool to use to reproduce phonetics in same way globally. After all what is the purpose of a script? It is what I mean a derivation based on principles and logic.
My classroom was acting as a teacher room for me. It is not bringing the understanding and learning but the pride as well. How we can afford to drop a quality tool of communication while other are still striving for it.
