Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Eastern Religions In the transliteration of Sanskrit and other words the usual rules have been observed. Consonants are to be pronounced ordinarily as in English, vowels as in Italian. The use of diacritical marks has been as far as possible avoided. C' is the English ch in church; 3' is sh: y is always hard. In compound consonants, the second element of which is an aspirate, the component parts are separately and distinctly heard e.y., ih is pronounced neither as in thorn nor as in that, but as in foothold e'h, as in church-house ph, as in uphill. Where the second member of the compound is v, the v is equiva lent to w, except after r; cl is usually English soft th, as in though: drish therefore is to be pronounced thwish. Of the vowels e 0 are always long ai au are the diphthongs in aisle, loud. The three simple vowels a i u are short.
