29-942: Kattak ( Shahmukhi : کتک ; Gurmukhi : ਕੱਤਕ , Punjabi pronunciation: [kət̪ːəkᵊ] ) is the eighth month of the Punjabi calendar and the Nanakshahi calendar . This month coincides with Kartik in the Hindu calendar and the Indian national calendar , and October and November in the Gregorian and Julian calendars and is 30 days long. Shahmukhi Most of the classical Punjabi literature has been produced in Shahmukhi; used by major Muslim writers including Baba Farid , Bulleh Shah , Waris Shah , Sultan Bahu , and Mian Muhammad Bakhsh , among others. Shahmukhi

58-608: A /ʰ/ or a /ʱ/ , this letter is mainly used as part of the multitude of digraphs, detailed above. Characters added which differ from Urdu include: لؕ to represent /ɭ/ and ݨ to represent /ɳ/ . These characters, however are rarely used. The letter ژ is pronounced 'j' in French or as vi si on in English and the letter ع is often transliterated in many ways due to its changing sound in various Arabic and Persian words. Aspirated consonant In phonetics , aspiration

87-518: A stressed syllable . Pronouncing them as unaspirated in these positions, as is done by many Indian English speakers, may make them get confused with the corresponding voiced stop by other English-speakers. Conversely, this confusion does not happen with the native speakers of languages which have aspirated and unaspirated but not voiced stops, such as Mandarin Chinese . S+consonant clusters may vary between aspirated and nonaspirated depending upon if

116-569: A few Tibeto-Burman languages , some Oto-Manguean languages , the Hmongic language Hmu , the Siouan language Ofo , and the Chumashan languages Barbareño and Ventureño . Some languages, such as Choni Tibetan , have as many as four contrastive aspirated fricatives [sʰ] [ɕʰ] , [ʂʰ] and [xʰ] . True aspirated voiced consonants, as opposed to murmured (breathy-voice) consonants such as

145-546: A four-way distinction in stops: voiceless, aspirated, voiced, and voiced aspirated, such as /p pʰ b bʱ/ . Punjabi has lost voiced aspirated consonants, which resulted in a tone system , and therefore has a distinction between voiceless, aspirated, and voiced: /p pʰ b/ . Other languages such as Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada , have a distinction between voiced and voiceless, aspirated and unaspirated. Most dialects of Armenian have aspirated stops, and some have breathy-voiced stops. Classical and Eastern Armenian have

174-1031: A stressed syllable. In many languages, such as Hindi , tenuis and aspirated consonants are phonemic . Unaspirated consonants like [p˭ s˭] and aspirated consonants like [pʰ ʰp sʰ] are separate phonemes, and words are distinguished by whether they have one or the other. Alemannic German dialects have unaspirated [p˭ t˭ k˭] as well as aspirated [pʰ tʰ kʰ] ; the latter series are usually viewed as consonant clusters . French , Standard Dutch , Afrikaans , Tamil , Finnish , Portuguese , Italian , Spanish , Russian , Polish , Latvian and Modern Greek are languages that do not have phonetic aspirated consonants. Standard Chinese (Mandarin) has stops and affricates distinguished by aspiration: for instance, /t tʰ/ , /t͡s t͡sʰ/ . In pinyin , tenuis stops are written with letters that represent voiced consonants in English, and aspirated stops with letters that represent voiceless consonants. Thus d represents /t/ , and t represents /tʰ/ . Wu Chinese and Southern Min has

203-485: A three-way distinction between voiceless, aspirated, and voiced, such as /t tʰ d/ . Western Armenian has a two-way distinction between aspirated and voiced: /tʰ d/ . Western Armenian aspirated /tʰ/ corresponds to Eastern Armenian aspirated /tʰ/ and voiced /d/ , and Western voiced /d/ corresponds to Eastern voiceless /t/ . Ancient Greek , including the Classical Attic and Koine Greek dialects, had

232-482: A three-way distinction in stops and affricates: /p pʰ b/ . In addition to aspirated and unaspirated consonants, there is a series of muddy consonants , like /b/ . These are pronounced with slack or breathy voice : that is, they are weakly voiced. Muddy consonants as initial cause a syllable to be pronounced with low pitch or light (陽 yáng ) tone . Many Indo-Aryan languages have aspirated stops. Sanskrit , Hindustani , Bengali , Marathi , and Gujarati have

261-612: A three-way distinction in stops like Eastern Armenian: /t tʰ d/ . These series were called ψιλά , δασέα , μέσα ( psilá, daséa, mésa ) "smooth, rough, intermediate", respectively, by Koine Greek grammarians. There were aspirated stops at three places of articulation: labial, coronal, and velar /pʰ tʰ kʰ/ . Earlier Greek, represented by Mycenaean Greek , likely had a labialized velar aspirated stop /kʷʰ/ , which later became labial, coronal, or velar depending on dialect and phonetic environment. The other Ancient Greek dialects, Ionic , Doric , Aeolic , and Arcadocypriot , likely had

290-517: A voiced consonant actually represents a breathy-voiced or murmured consonant, as with the "voiced aspirated" bilabial stop ⟨ bʰ ⟩ in the Indo-Aryan languages . This consonant is therefore more accurately transcribed as ⟨ b̤ ⟩, with the diacritic for breathy voice, or with the modifier letter ⟨ bʱ ⟩, a superscript form of the symbol for the voiced glottal fricative ⟨ ɦ ⟩. Some linguists restrict

319-802: Is also a feature of Scottish Gaelic : Preaspirated stops also occur in most Sami languages . For example, in Northern Sami , the unvoiced stop and affricate phonemes /p/ , /t/ , /ts/ , /tʃ/ , /k/ are pronounced preaspirated ( [ʰp] , [ʰt] [ʰts] , [ʰtʃ] , [ʰk] ) in medial or final position. Although most aspirated obstruents in the world's languages are stops and affricates, aspirated fricatives such as [sʰ] , [ɸʷʰ] and [ɕʰ] have been documented in Korean and Xuanzhou Wu , and [xʰ] has been described for Spanish, though these are allophones of other phonemes. Similarly, aspirated fricatives and even aspirated nasals, approximants, and trills occur in

348-955: Is longer or shorter depending on the language or the place of articulation. Armenian and Cantonese have aspiration that lasts about as long as English aspirated stops, in addition to unaspirated stops. Korean has lightly aspirated stops that fall between the Armenian and Cantonese unaspirated and aspirated stops as well as strongly-aspirated stops whose aspiration lasts longer than that of Armenian or Cantonese. (See voice onset time .) Aspiration varies with place of articulation . The Spanish voiceless stops /p t k/ have voice onset times (VOTs) of about 5, 10, and 30 milliseconds, and English aspirated /p t k/ have VOTs of about 60, 70, and 80 ms. Voice onset time in Korean has been measured at 20, 25, and 50 ms for /p t k/ and 90, 95, and 125 for /pʰ tʰ kʰ/ . When aspirated consonants are doubled or geminated ,

377-422: Is now obsolete. The aspiration modifier letter may be doubled to indicate especially strong or long aspiration. Hence, the two degrees of aspiration in Korean stops are sometimes transcribed ⟨ kʰ kʰʰ ⟩ or ⟨ kʻ ⟩ and ⟨ kʰ ⟩, but they are usually transcribed [k] and [kʰ] , with the details of voice onset time given numerically. Preaspirated consonants are marked by placing

406-485: Is realised as an extended length of the frication. Aspirated consonants are not always followed by vowels or other voiced sounds. For example, in Eastern Armenian , aspiration is contrastive even word-finally, and aspirated consonants occur in consonant clusters . In Wahgi , consonants are aspirated only when they are in final position. The degree of aspiration varies: the voice onset time of aspirated stops

435-563: Is the strong burst of breath that accompanies either the release or, in the case of preaspiration , the closure of some obstruents . In English, aspirated consonants are allophones in complementary distribution with their unaspirated counterparts, but in some other languages, notably most South Asian languages and East Asian languages , the difference is contrastive . In the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), aspirated consonants are written using

464-534: Is written from right to left, while Gurmukhi is written from left to right. Shahmukhi has 36 primary letters with some other additional letters. Before the advent of Shahmukhi, writing systems were not popular for the Old Punjabi varieties . The name 'Shahmukhi' is a recent coinage, imitating its counterpart 'Gurmukhi'. However, the writing of Punjabi in the Perso-Arabic script is well-attested from

493-877: The Urdu alphabet , but contains additional letters representing the Punjabi phonology . For writing Saraiki , an extended Shahmukhi is used that includes 4 additional letters for the implosive consonants ( ٻ, ڄ, ݙ, ڳ ). Like Urdu, Shahmukhi also has diacritics, which are implied - a convention retained from the original Arabic script , to express short vowels. (ن٘) No Punjabi words begin with ں , ھ , or ے . Words which begin with ڑ are exceedingly rare, but some have been documented in Shahmukhi dictionaries such as Iqbal Salahuddin's Waddi Punjabi Lughat . The digraphs of aspirated consonants are as follows. In addition, ل and لؕ form ligatures with ا : لا ( ـلا ) and لؕا ( ـلؕا ). Shahmukhi has more letters than its Persian base and related Urdu alphabet, to represent

522-608: The [bʱ], [dʱ], [ɡʱ] that are common among the languages of India , are extremely rare. They have been documented in Kelabit . Aspiration has varying significance in different languages. It is either allophonic or phonemic, and may be analyzed as an underlying consonant cluster. In some languages, stops are distinguished primarily by voicing , and voiceless stops are sometimes aspirated, while voiced stops are usually unaspirated. English voiceless stops are aspirated for most native speakers when they are word-initial or begin

551-403: The grammatical tradition of Sanskrit , aspirated consonants are called voiceless aspirated , and breathy-voiced consonants are called voiced aspirated . There are no dedicated IPA symbols for degrees of aspiration and typically only two degrees are marked: unaspirated ⟨ k ⟩ and aspirated ⟨ kʰ ⟩. An old symbol for light aspiration was ⟨ ʻ ⟩, but this

580-554: The vocal folds open (spread) and not vibrating, and voiced consonants are produced when the vocal folds are fractionally closed and vibrating ( modal voice ). Voiceless aspiration occurs when the vocal folds remain open after a consonant is released. An easy way to measure this is by noting the consonant's voice onset time , as the voicing of a following vowel cannot begin until the vocal folds close. In some languages, such as Navajo , aspiration of stops tends to be phonetically realised as voiceless velar airflow; aspiration of affricates

609-623: The 13th century onwards with the first major works produced by Baba Farid . According to Dhavan, Punjabi began to adopt the script as a "side effect" of educational practices in Mughal -era Punjab , when Punjabi Muslims learned the Persian language in order to participate in Mughal society. Educational materials taught Persian to Punjabi speakers by using Punjabi written in Persian's alphabet, which

638-427: The aspiration modifier letter before the consonant symbol: ⟨ ʰp ⟩ represents the preaspirated bilabial stop. Unaspirated or tenuis consonants are occasionally marked with the modifier letter for unaspiration ⟨ ◌˭ ⟩, a superscript equals sign : ⟨ t˭ ⟩. Usually, however, unaspirated consonants are left unmarked: ⟨ t ⟩. Voiceless consonants are produced with

667-453: The cluster crosses a morpheme boundary or not. For instance, distend has unaspirated [t] since it is not analyzed as two morphemes, but distaste has an aspirated middle [tʰ] because it is analyzed as dis- + taste and the word taste has an aspirated initial t . Word-final voiceless stops are sometimes aspirated. Voiceless stops in Pashto are slightly aspirated prevocalically in

696-628: The same three-way distinction at one point, but Doric seems to have had a fricative in place of /tʰ/ in the Classical period. Later, during the Koine and Medieval Greek periods, the aspirated and voiced stops /tʰ d/ of Attic Greek lenited to voiceless and voiced fricatives, yielding /θ ð/ in Medieval and Modern Greek . Cypriot Greek is notable for aspirating its inherited (and developed across word-boundaries) voiceless geminate stops, yielding

725-414: The series /pʰː tʰː cʰː kʰː/. The term aspiration sometimes refers to the sound change of debuccalization , in which a consonant is lenited (weakened) to become a glottal stop or fricative [ʔ h ɦ] . So-called voiced aspirated consonants are nearly always pronounced instead with breathy voice , a type of phonation or vibration of the vocal folds . The modifier letter ⟨ ◌ʰ ⟩ after

754-557: The special sounds that are only in Punjabi, which already have additional letters added to the Arabic base itself to represent sounds not present in Arabic. Characters added which differ from Persian but not Urdu include: ٹ to represent /ʈ/ , ڈ to represent /ɖ/ , ڑ to represent /ɽ/ , ں to represent /◌̃/ , and ے to represent /ɛ:/ or /e:/ . Furthermore, a separate do-cashmi- he letter, ھ , exists to denote

783-510: The stop is held longer and then has an aspirated release. An aspirated affricate consists of a stop, fricative, and aspirated release. A doubled aspirated affricate has a longer hold in the stop portion and then has a release consisting of the fricative and aspiration. Icelandic and Faroese have consonants with preaspiration [ʰp ʰt ʰk] , and some scholars interpret them as consonant clusters as well. In Icelandic, preaspirated stops contrast with double stops and single stops : Preaspiration

812-569: The symbols for voiceless consonants followed by the aspiration modifier letter ⟨ ◌ʰ ⟩, a superscript form of the symbol for the voiceless glottal fricative ⟨ h ⟩. For instance, ⟨ p ⟩ represents the voiceless bilabial stop , and ⟨ pʰ ⟩ represents the aspirated bilabial stop. Voiced consonants are seldom actually aspirated. Symbols for voiced consonants followed by ⟨ ◌ʰ ⟩, such as ⟨ bʰ ⟩, typically represent consonants with murmured voiced release (see below ). In

841-522: Was a novel innovation. This was one of the first attempts at standardising the Punjabi language; prior to this, Punjabi was primarily a spoken language, not formally taught in schools. Shackle suggests that the Gurmukhi script was not favoured by Punjabi Muslims due to its religious (Sikh) connotations. Shahmukhi script is a modified version of the Arabic script 's Persian alphabet . It is identical to
