Re: Ludhyanwi Lakhnawi Meerathi
Here are extracts from the book ‘Sindhi Language’ – (pages 94 & 95) addressing your query:
Since in Sindhi writing system, short vowels are not usually written, the appearance of consonants has confused many. Short vowels are represented by diacritical marks of ُ ,ِ ,َ on or below the letters, and since the indigenous speakers manage without them the practice of writing them has been discontinued.
There are three consonants and three vowels in each word. Since Sindhi uses the Arabic script therefore in the usage of vowels, (zair) ِ , (zabar) َand (pesh) ُ are shown in the above examples.
In addition to the vowels, there are the following consonants in Sindhi:
While the following extra letters have come from Arabic:
ح ق ع ء c d e ص
These letters are extra because most of the sounds that they carry are non existent in Sindhi, or they are present in some other form in Sindhi. The typical
Arabic sounds are neither used and pronounced in Sindhi nor do they fit in the mood of Sindhi language. In fact removing these consonants from Sindhi would
make it more easily writeable and typing and publishing work of Sindhi would become easy and cost-effective.
PS: The format of Sindhi letters is not supported by the site, so you can download and read this book from the following link:
