Editing Anusvara (section)

=== Marathi ===
In [[Marathi Language|Marathi]], the anusvāra is pronounced as a [[nasal consonant|nasal]] that is [[homorganic consonants|homorganic]] to the following consonant (with the same [[place of articulation]]). For example, it is pronounced as the [[dental nasal]] न् before [[dental consonant]]s, as the [[bilabial nasal]] म् before [[bilabial consonants]], etc{{citation needed|date=December 2015|reason=sounds quite plausible, but the phonetics of nasals in South Asian languages can be complex and so the claim might as well turn out to be false.}}
. Unlike in other Indic languages, the same dot designating the anusvāra in Marathi is also used to mark a retension of the inherent vowel (it is inconsistently placed over a consonant after which the short central vowel is to be pronounced and not elided).
