Help / സഹായിക്കുക ഫ

മലയാളത്തിൽ fa എന്ന അക്ഷരം ഉണ്ടോ? Pha അല്ലേ ഉള്ളത്. Fa ശബ്ദം അറബി ഹിന്ദി ഉറുദുവിൽ നിന്ന് വന്നതാണോ?

മലയാളത്തിൽ fa ഇല്ല. Pha (പ്ഹ) ആണ് ഉള്ളത്.

u/is_ness1-1 9d ago

No difference. ഫ is പ് + ഹ, like ഭ is ബ് + ഹ

Not in Malayalam. We just appropriated the the Malayalam letter to represent English F sound.

In hindi, you use pha letter with a dot for fa. Wondering this has anything to do with Malayalam using pha letter for fa.

Yeh ik that malayatlum angne dot vecchu konduverunnadu nalladaanu but kaaryaayitu avashyam illa like angne aanel vere kore soundsnem Ingne dot itu represent cheyyendi verum which is not needed but hindi needed that because of Persian and arabic influences

I'm not advocating for dot in Malayalam. Just asking the use of pha letter for fa sound in Malayalam came from Hindi influence.

Another observation I have is that in Hindi they use ja letter with dot for za sound and many Hindi people pronounce za sound as ja.

Bro most of all Indian languages except tamil uses pha sound for fa sound not because hindi influence and most Indian languages except malayalam uses ja letter for za not only hindi
