\"ii\" (ii) In its production the lips are spread and the front of the tongue is raised as high as possible towards the hard palate without making any constriction.\u00a0 The tip of the tongue touches the lower part of the teeth.\u00a0 The vocal cords are vibrated during its production. The soft palate is raised.\u00a0 This is a high front un-rounded long vowel.\u00a0 This occurs in all positions in a word.<\/p>\n

\"r\" (r) The air escapes between the tip of the tongue and palate in its\u00a0 production.\u00a0 The soft palate is raised and the vocal cords are vibrated. This sound is described as the voiced alveolar flap. This occurs in all the positions in a word.<\/p>\n

Compare the letters\u00a0\"ii\" (ii) and\u00a0\"ra\" (ra). \"ii\" is formed by putting two dots on both sides of the third stroke and\u00a0\"ra\" (ra) is formed by adding a slightly angular short stroke as below.\u00a0 While writing \"r\", it is written as\u00a0\"ra\" but in print it will be \"r\".\u00a0 But both are correct.<\/p>\n

Compare the letters and copy three times.<\/p>\n

We have seen earlier about\u00a0\"p\" and its production.\u00a0 As we have seen earlier this letter occurs in the word initial and medial positions.\u00a0 There are two sound values for this letter, namely voiced and voiceless. The one seen earlier described as voiceless (hard).\u00a0 The other one is voiced (soft).\u00a0 The movements of the speech organs are exactly the same as voiceless except for vibration of the vocal cords.\u00a0 It occurs initially in some of the borrowed words and medially after nasal as in\u00a0\"pambaram\" (pambaram).\u00a0 This may be described as a voiced bilabial stop sound.<\/p>\n

Read the Following words:<\/p>\n

\"3\"<\/p>\n

\"c\"(c) In its production the blade of the tongue touches the back portion of the alveolar ridge and the soft palate is raised.\u00a0 The blade of the tongue moves away from its position slowly.\u00a0 There is no vibration in the vocal cords.\u00a0 This is described as the voiceless palatal affricate.\u00a0 It occurs medially in modern Tamil as identical consonant cluster.<\/p>\n

\"k\"(k) The air stream is blocked by the back of the tongue while it is in firm contact with the soft palate in its production.\u00a0 The soft palate is in raised position so that no air escapes through the nasal cavity.\u00a0 The air comes out of the mouth with explosion when the back of the tongue is released suddenly.\u00a0 There is no vibration of the vocal cords during this production.\u00a0 This is voiceless velar stop. This occurs in the word initial and medial positions.<\/p>\n

\"t\"(t) It is produced when the tip of the tongue touches the upper teeth.\u00a0 Here the soft palate is also raised so that the air con not escape through the nasal cavity.\u00a0 When the tip of the tongue is released from the upper teeth the air suddenly escapes through the mouth.\u00a0 There is no vibration in the vocal cords. This is a voiceless dental stop.\u00a0 It occurs initially and medially.<\/p>\n

Write the letters for (ca), (ka) and (ta):<\/p>\n

\"4\"<\/p>\n

In Tamil, each of the letter\u00a0\"5\" with or without secondary symbols for other vowels, have different pronunciation values depending upon the position in which they occur, or on the basis of letters with which they co-occur in a word.<\/p>\n

There are secondary symbols for each vowel. The vowels as such can used in the word initial position.\u00a0 In other places in a word corresponding secondary symbols are used.\u00a0 The secondary symbols may be added to the consonant either over the letter or before the primary letter or after the primary letter or both, before and after etc. The secondary symbols are introduced wherever the vowels are introduced.\u00a0 There are number of examples of vowel, consonant combinations are given for easy understanding of this concept.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
