---------------------  Note  ----------------------
Use  Roman  lipi  (English symbols) for Marathi, if
printing /email in Devanagari  script is not available
Some sounds -- a (a-alone) aa (a-art)  v (w-wind)
(t d n l) (t' d' n' l') similar to  d (th-they) d' (d-dog)
No rhasva-dirgha.  hindi = hindee  Respell  police,
company  (etc English words) =  polis, kampani in
Marathi.  (sarakaara) in Devanagari = (sarkaar) in
Roman, as per sound. Use small  letters, & 3 dots
to end a sentence and capitals to start unrespelled
names. See M12 etc in website. Few poem lines-
vrukshavalli  aamhaa  soyari  vanachare,  pakshihi
susvare aal'aviti... chitta shuddha tari  shatru mitra
hoti, vyaaghrahi na khaati sarpa tayaa...-Tukaram
