This did not help as it was written in Kannada script. I bet 98% of the people who require this info would not know how to read this.
A phonetic equivalant in English.. as in Big Brother “Anna”.. will help.
Nice page.
Thanks for your suggestion. I have received similar suggestion from one another reader. Though I prefer that the language learner should get the alphabets first, but still I will try to do what best I can do.
Transliteration often helps in getting hold on the language.
