📊 पवर्ग — the five labial letters
All five are made at the same place in the mouth. They differ only in breath (प्राण) and voice (घोष).
| अक्षर | Roman | प्राण | घोष |
|---|---|---|---|
| प | pa | अल्पप्राण | कठोर |
| फ | pha | महाप्राण | कठोर |
| ब | ba | अल्पप्राण | मृदू |
| भ | bha | महाप्राण | मृदू |
| म | ma | अनुनासिक | मृदू |
म is one of the most common letters in Marathi — मासा, मन, आम्ही, नमस्कार. It is also the easiest to make: just close your lips and hum. This is why मा and मम are among the first sounds babies produce in almost every language.
