Pronunciation Simplified Indian languages use a few more sounds than most
Western languages. Some of the constants, like "d"
or "t" have a harder and a softer version than the ones in
English. There are also long and short vowel sounds, and
you will be more easily understood if you greatly exaggerate the
length of your long vowels. For example, to say
"yes" in Tamil you would say "aama", but it would not
be wrong to pronounce it 'aaaama'. It would be
very hard to over lengthen long vowel sounds.
