[QUOTE="Luckysingh, post: 165272, member: 16886"] Indian speaking languages have a few pronunciation problems when it comes to english speaking languages. An example is the sharp 'V' sound in english that is not used much in indian speaking languages. This 'V' sound is made by putting your upper teeth on to bottom lip and saying 'E' from the base of your mouth,- result is a sharp 'V' as in 'Victory' or 'Vertical' In indian speaking there is also no direct 'W' sound, the W and V sound which is ਵ, comes somewhere in between the 2 english sounds. Probably the most closest indian word with 'V' to english 'V' is 'Vaadiyanh' Even the dialects vary in indian from gepgraphical areas, such as the word 'Vadha' meaning 'big' or 'large' will be heard with a sharper 'V' in areas like 'Vadha' or with a more casual 'W' such as 'Waddha', depending on where you hear it. This 'V' also causes the problems with the mispronounced 'W' that we commonly hear in indian speaking english- such as 'Vindow' instead of 'window' 'Vann O'clock' instead of 'One O'clock' 'Vait a minute' instead of 'Wait a minute' 'Wordical' instead of 'Vertical' - this is often heard here as the indians will put on an american influenced accent with their words. (from the way they are taught in many indian areas now) 'Very bewildering' on the other hand will be pronounced 'Wery beVildering' The list is endless Some of you may find this a little amusing and be sniggering as you will recall hearing these pronunciations in your experiences, but these 'W''s and 'V's are very often mixed up for this very reason. We all know these mispronunciation of words and accents are used as the butt of endlees jokes about indians, but the few punjabis that I have tried to teach in order to correct them seem to have a great deal of difficulty grasping the application and difference in 'V's and 'W's. Now, with all this mind, you will understand what I'm getting at here. On this thread we are discussing 'correct pronunciation of WAHEGURU' This itself is open to debate on NOT THE GRAMMAR but simple pronounciation by a pure english speaking or the indian english speaking. We know that there is a difference if english is your first or second language. In this case we would regard people born or who have been raised as children here in the west as having english as 1st language, and people from India as having it as 2nd language.
