Dear Dinesh ji,

The Kannada names are correct. However, in my view, English transliteration ' kaadu garudapatala ' is also written as

'kaadu garudapathala' , which is the perfect transliteration.

Thanks & Regards,

M.Swamy

Transliteration of names from local languages to English.

The transliteration varies depending on the person's upbringing regarding languages.

If we do transliteration from Kannada to Devanagari it is very close. But with English it is not the case.

ಕಾಡು ಹರುಡಪಾತಾಳ - Kaadu garudapathala - This transliteration is by South Indian.

ಕಾಡು ಹರುಡಪಾತಾಳ - Kaadu garudapatala - This transliteration is by Maharashtrian.

ಕಾಡು ಹರುಡಪಾತಾಳ - काडु गरुडपाताळ (But Kannadigas will pronounce it as काडु गरुडपाताळा)

ळ and ल is often represented by same letter 'l'.

If we use standard phonetic symbols, as used in many dictionaries, this confusion can be cleared.

भारती, आरती, रेवती is often written by South Indians as Bharathi, Aarathi, Revathi. But Maharashtrian will write it as Bharati, Aarati, Revati.

Yes, I am in full agreement with you, Vinay ji.

I have taken the approach of maintaining the spelling (of transliterated names in English) as provided in the source articles; and willing to correct them as to how a native would spell the transliterated name in English.

All said, though I would like the names in native script OR transliterated names in English, accurately spelled, it is better to settle at a lenient level, owing to so many dialects of language. The natives, too, pronounce the name in their own colloquial fashion, thus the name itself has many variants, giving rise to many spellings.

Thank you very much Vinay ji for the clarification. Your thoughts are always welcome.

Regards.

Dinesh
