All lessons from this blog and more are available there

In previous lesson we have learnt symbols for vowels and consonants in Gujarati script.
Like in any language vowels can be added to consonants to create combined sound.
In English we just right letters one after other; and depending on the word we say them together.
e.g.
meat ; bit ; hat. Here "ea","i","a" are pronounced along with preceding consonant.

In Gujarati  we do not write vowels as it is when they are to be combined with consonant. There are different symbols  for each vowel, which is added to consonant symbol to indicate combined sound

There are twelve main vowels. Hence this chart is called Barakhadi/Barakshari; where "Bar" means twelve.

1) Adding āŠ…(a) to consonant has no effect. So there is no change in symbol
In this blog it is denoted as small a i.e. "a"

2) Adding āІ(A) to consonant is denoted by extra vertical line.
e.g. This vertical line is called āŠ•ાāŠĻો (kAno )
āŠ•(k) + āŠ†(A) = āŠ•ા (kA)
āŠŽ(b) + āŠ†(A) = āŠŽા(bA)
In this blog it is denoted as capital a i.e. "A"

3) Adding āЇ(i) to consonant is denoted by extra vertical line and a curve BEFORE consonant.

āŠ•(k) + āŠ‡(i) = āŠ•િ(ki)
āŠŽ(b)+ āŠ‡(i) = āŠŽિ(bi)
In this blog it is denoted as small i i.e. "i"
4) Adding āЈ(I) to consonant is denoted by extra vertical line and a curve AFTER consonant

āŠ•(k)  + āŠˆ(I) = āŠ•ી (kI)
āŠŽ(b) + āŠˆ(I) = āŠŽી (bI) 
In this blog it is denoted as capital i i.e. "I" 

5) Adding āЉ(u) to consonant is denoted by a curve below consonant. Curve is pointing to left
āŠ•(k)  + āŠ‰(u)  = āŠ•ુ (ku)
āŠŽ(b) + āŠ‰ (u) = āŠŽુ (bu)
Exception :- for  āа(r) curve is added at side āаુ(ru) 
In this blog it is denoted as small u  i.e. "u"

6) Adding āЊ(U) to consonant is denoted by a curve below consonant. Curve is pointing to right.
āŠ•(k)  + āŠŠ (U) = āŠ•ૂ  (kU)
āŠŽ(b) + āŠŠ(U)  = āŠŽૂ (bU)

Exception :- for  āа(r) curve is added at side āаૂ(rU)
In this blog it is denoted as capital u i.e. "U"

7) Adding āŠ(e) to consonant is denoted by a  slanting line above consonant.
This slanting line is called āŠŪાāŠĪ્āŠ°ા(mAtrA)
āŠ•(k) + āŠ(e)  = āŠ•ે (ke)
āŠŽ(b) + āŠ(e) = āŠŽે(be)
In this blog it is denoted as small e i.e. "e"

8) Adding āА(ai) to consonant is denoted by a  TWO slanting lines above consonant.
These slanting lines are called āŠŽે āŠŪાāŠĪ્āŠ°ા(be mAtrA). Where āŠŽે(be) means two.

āŠ•(k)  + āŠ(ai)  = āŠ•ૈ (kai)
āŠŽ(b) + āŠ(ai)  = āŠŽૈ(bai)

In this blog it is denoted as "ai"
Note for native Hindi speakers :- Pronunciation of double matra is different in Hindi and Gujarati.  

9) Adding āŠ“(o) to consonant is denoted by a  vertical line after consonant along with one slanting line above consonant.  e.g.one  āŠ•ાāŠĻો (kAno) and one āŠŪાāŠĪ્āŠ°ા(mAtrA) 
āŠ•(k) + āŠ“ (o) = āŠ•ો (ko)
(b)āŠŽ + āŠ“(o)  = āŠŽો (bo)
In this blog it is denoted as small o i.e. "o"

10) Adding āŠ”(au) to consonant is denoted by a  vertical line after consonant along with TWO slanting lines above consonant.  e.g.one  āŠ•ાāŠĻો(kAno) and two āŠŪાāŠĪ્āŠ°ા(mAtrA) 
āŠ•(k)  + āŠ”(au)  = āŠ•ૌ (kau)
āŠŽ(b) + āŠ”(au)  = āŠŽૌ (bau)

In this blog it is denoted as "au"
Note for native Hindi speakers :- Pronunciation of double matra is different in Hindi and Gujarati. 

11) Adding āŠ…ં (aM) to consonant is denoted by a  giving a dot on consonant. 
āŠ•(k)  + āŠ…ં(aM) = āŠ•ં (kM)
āŠŽ(b) + āŠ…ં(aM) = āŠŽં (bM)
In this blog it is denoted as capital m "M"
12) Adding āŠ…ઃ(aH) to consonant is denoted by a two dots after consonant. 
āŠ•(k)  + āŠ…ઃ(aH)  = āŠ•ઃ (kH)
āŠŽ(b) + āŠ…ઃ(aH)  = āŠŽઃ(bH)
In this blog it is denoted as capital h i.e. "H"

13) When you want to say a consonant just half it is denoted by giving a slanting line below consonant
āŠ•્‌
āŠŽ્‌

14) Adding non traditional vowels āŠ(~e) is denoted by giving crescent like symbol above consonant. 
āŠ•(k)  + āŠ(~e)  āŠ•ૅ (k~e)
āŠŽ(b) + āŠ(~e)  = āŠŽૅ (b~e)
In this blog it is denoted as  "~e"
This sound is similar to pronunciation of words "cat", "bat" in English. So they will be written as āŠ•ૅāŠŸ (k~eT), āŠŽૅāŠŸ (b~eT). 

15) Adding non traditional vowels āŠ‘(~o) is denoted by giving crescent like symbol above consonant along with one vertical line after consonant   
āŠ•(k)  + āŠ‘(~o)  āŠ•ૉ (k~o)
āŠŽ(b) + āŠ‘(~o)  = āŠŽૉ (b~o)
In this blog it is denoted as  "~o"
This sound is similar to pronunciation of words "spot", "lot" in English. So they will be written as āŠļ્āŠŠૉāŠŸ(sp~oT), āŠēૉāŠŸ (l~oT)

As last two vowels are nontraditional vowels you will find that sometimes they not used  writing and speaking. Instead the vowels āŠ(e) and āŠ“(o) are used respectively. So such words are written and pronounced as 
Cat -> āŠ•ેāŠŸ(keT), Bat -> āŠŽેāŠŸ(beT), Spot -> āŠļ્āŠŠોāŠŸ(spoT), Lot -> āŠēોāŠŸ(loT) etc.

So Barakhadi/Barakshari for all consonants will be

    1. This concept doesn't exist in English (Roman) script. So I don't think there is an English word for it.
