Ram or Rama, Yog or Yoga, Krishn or Krishna? Which is right?

[parijataka]

Why are there two different words for the elephant?

Gaj and Hasti (Hathi)

i think it was called paryayavachi shabd i.e. synonyms which we had to mug up in school for example for tree - vriksha, taru, etc

What is the difference between a geet and a ghazal?
Nov 23, 2003, 07.43am IST

There are many forms of shayari (Urdu poetry)— ghazal and nazm ( geet ) are two of them. Geet is a logically evolving poem where each individual verse serves the need of the central concept/theme of the poem.

Ghazal , which means 'talking to women' in Arabic, is basically poetry in praise of a woman. It's a collection of couplets ( shairs or ashaar ) which deal with subjects completely unrelated to each other, yet are complete in themselves. For example: ' Ghar se masjid hai bahut door, chalo yun kar lein; kisi rote hue bachche ko hansaya jaaye .'

In sanskrit there is no राम , you can use it in hindi or marathi but in sanskrit it always is राम :

राम : or ramaha is shortened to rama in english
योग : or yogaha is shortened to yoga in english

Can you show a place where "राम :" or "योग :" is used as stand alone word?

Can you correctly spell "ह" or ":" in English? Remember the sound of English H in Hindi is "एच" and A is "ऐ" and not "अ"

It is saṃskṛtam, and that is how it is pronounced in South Indian languages.

That's not the answer.I am not asking how South Indians pronounce Sanskrit.As someone has already said they simply deviate any language into their accent.So whether its Tam/Yum/Yuf/U/A or whatever.

Once again where did Sanskrit originate?

I am not sure where Sanskrit originated.
What I was saying is that the name of sanskrit language in sanskrit is "samskrtam" or "samskrta vak" (civilized speech) and that is exactly how it is pronounced in S.I. languages. I thought that is what you were asking.

I simply asked the place it originated... that's it.

Exactly! This is what I have tried to explain in vain over the years.

samskrta	vak
adjective	noun

When the adjective is used on its own, it behaves like a noun, and the correct term to define it is substantive.

Some words of Punjabi are also closer to Sanskrit than Hindi.

Putra of Sanskrit is Puttar in Punjabi.

Change in Hindi pronouncing came with: Apabhraṃśa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is during rajput period (6th to 13th century). Apabhraṃśa did not influence south India, but Prakrit has influenced south.

A Historical Syntax of Late Middle Indo-Aryan (Apabhraṃśa)

During the 6th-12th c. the gradual erosion of the synthetic morphology of Old Indo-Aryan resulted ultimately in the remodelling of its syntax in the direction of the New Indo-Aryan analytic type.......In any case it appears that Apabhramsa from its beginnings was located in Gujarat, Rajputana and Malwa (contemporary Gujarat, Rajasthan and western Madhya Prades) and thence it spread through the whole of North India

Well there is N Indian version of mispronunciation as well. An average N Indian would never be able to get around a name like `Mokshagundam Krishnamurthy`, let alone naming his kids in that vein.

That's right and the North Indian versions are already highlighted by me as well.Post #6

Now if you read carefully we are talking about the correct pronunciation of a native language and not the one which was imported and twisted.The way in which South Indians pronounce their own native language is the correct one in any case and that's same to Sanskrit/Hindi.

The last thing I want people here is to drag this to South Vs North crappy arguments.

btw I found in Patanjali Book that "Yog" is the correct stand alone word and NOT "Yoga".This "a" is the twisted version which is NOT correct in it's original form.
