Correct pronunciation of Garuda Linux

Hi there!

We already do.
Actually, it is गरुड़ , not गरुड . So, it is necessary to write “a” in the end. It is limitation of English language that there is no correct way for writing many Hindi/ Sankrit letters, like ड़ So, Garuda and Garuda both are wrong, but Garuda is better.

Shree Ram, not Rama

It is योगा in Hindi too. योग is derived from यज्ञ and योगा is derived from योग। योग and योगा are different words.

श्री कृष्णा, not कृष्ण। कृष्ण means black, and he was black, so, his name was kept श्री कृष्णा, but some people say कृष्ण, it is fine too.

They are already written Bhim and Arjun respectively, I am pretty sure because I live only 40 kilometers from कुरुक्षेत्र। Some people might write Arjuna too, but that is wrong. I have never seen Bhima though.

Not sure, never used that word in English. I used sometimes in हिन्दी, but I can’t really recollect if I used in English.

श्री गणेश is written Shree Ganesh in English. Some people might use Shree Ganesha too, but it is not recommended.

They are pronounced correctly, but can’t be written properly in English. This is not new, English can’t correctly represent many words in other languages. English is not meant to handle other languages. You should stop using English in official works, which was even proposed in old times. But people from South India protested, and English is still used in most of official works.

Yeah, they are like living jokes and I, being straightforward, point them out and roast them as much as I can
:laughing:

I don’t know why people follow them. Maybe they like him, but I am not that kind of person. I have seen Guru Ramdev followers, even now.
But I don’t to disgrace any religious leader.

To be honest, I am kind of guy who believes that Indian words should not be written at all in English. For example, it is जंगल, not Jungle (जंगली) or Jungal(जंगाल) .

Anyways, I am really pleased that someone cares about Indian languages and the pronunciations.
Keep it up.
