[edit] NOT a breve

that is NOT a breve...it looks like what a breve would look like in Roman script but Sanskrit uses Devnagari

[edit] Vote for merger

I vote for their merger. --Soumyasch 15:50, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Don't merge, reqwrite this article to refer to the sound instead of the character. The character is chandrabindu, anunasika is the sound modification produced by that character. Loom91 11:02, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Don't merge because Anunāsika and Candrabindu are the same thing. Anusvāra is another character. Here, a little additional information:

The letter "m" is pronounced by closing the mouth so that the sound ends in the lips. Anusvāra is like "m" (closed mouth) but the sound ends in the nose. In turn, Anunāsika is like "m" but the mouth remains open and the sound goes up to the crown of the head. This is the difference between those three letters. OK, you ask for help and you got it. As I am a Sanskrit scholar with years of living in Sanskrit, please, trust me because I cannot see a way to prove my words here (I am new to Wikipedia, sorry).
