In Sanskrit phonology ('), ' (also called, equivalently, ' by earlier grammarians) is the name of a phone, , written as: Visarga is an allophone of and in pausa (at the end of an utterance). Since is a common inflectional suffix (of nominative singular, second person singular, etc.), visarga appears frequently in Sanskrit texts. In the traditional order of Sanskrit sounds, visarga together with anusvāra appears between vowels and stop consonants. The precise pronunciation of in Vedic texts may vary between Śākhās. Some pronounce a slight echo of the preceding vowel after the fricative, for example will be pronounced , and will be pronounced . == Types of Visarga == The visarga is commonly found in writing, resembling the punctuation mark of colon or as two tiny circles one above the other. This form is retained by most Indian scripts. According to Sanskrit phonologists, the visarga has two optional allophones, namely जिह्वामूलीय (''Jihvāmūlīya'' or the guttural visarga) and उपध्मानीय (''Upadhmānīya'' or the fricative visarge). The former may be pronounced before , , and the latter before , and , as in तव पितामहः कः ('who is your grandfather?'), पक्षिणः खे उत्पतन्ति ('birds fly in the sky'), भोः पाहि ('sir, save me'), and तपःफलम् ('result of penances'). Both of them are written as two crescent-shaped semi-circles one above the other, facing the top and bottom respectively. A sign for the ''Jihvāmūlīya'' is still extant in the Telugu script and the Kannada alphabet, but those are no longer used in any other Indian scripts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Visarga」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
