Editing Shri (section)

=== Spelling and pronunciation ===
In Devanagari script for Sanskrit, Hindi, Marathi and other languages, the word {{angle bracket|{{lang|sa|श्री}}}} is a combination of three sounds: {{lang|sa|श्}} ({{Transliteration|sa|ISO|ś}}), {{lang|sa|र्}} ({{Transliteration|sa|ISO|r}}) and {{lang|sa|ई}} ({{Transliteration|sa|ISO|ī}}, long ''i''). There are two conventions in India to transliterate the consonant {{lang|sa|श्}} ([[ISO 15919|ISO]]: {{Transliteration|sa|ISO|''ś''}}) to English: some use ''s'' (which in narrower transcription represents only {{lang|sa|स्}}) as in ''[[Sri Lanka]]'' and ''[[Srinagar]]'', while others use ''sh'' as in ''[[Shimla]]'' and ''[[Shimoga]]''.<ref name="phonetics">{{cite arXiv|eprint=1701.08655|class=cs.CL|first1=Shrikant|last1=Malviya|first2=Rohit|last2=Mishra|title=Structural Analysis of Hindi Phonetics and a Method for Extraction of Phonetically Rich Sentences from a Very Large Hindi Text Corpus|last3=Tiwary|first3=Uma Shanker|year=2017|pages=2}}</ref> Similarly, {{lang|sa|री}} ({{Transliteration|sa|ISO|rī}}; {{lang|sa|र् + ई}}) is also transliterated to English in two different ways as ''ri'' and ''ree'', although the latter is non-standard in Hindi.<ref name="phonetics" /><ref name="un-ref">{{Citation|author=United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names, United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs|title=Technical reference manual for the standardization of geographical names|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mh8u32ANQxAC|year=2007|publisher=United Nations Publications, 2007|isbn=978-92-1-161500-5|quote=...
