Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

The 'Cha-varg' series consists of five sounds produced by touching the tongue to the roof of the mouth.

  • ਚ (cha) is a soft, unaspirated sound like 'ch' in 'church'.
  • ਛ (chha) is the aspirated version, requiring a puff of air.
  • ਜ (ja), ਝ (jha), and ਞ (nya) complete the palatal set.
Tongue + Roof of Mouth = Cha-varg Sounds
