Editing Kannada script (section)

===Consonant conjuncts===

The Kannada script is rich in conjunct consonant clusters, with most consonants having a standard subjoined form and few true ligature clusters. A table of consonant conjuncts follows although the forms of individual conjuncts may differ according to the font.

Of special note is the sequence concerning the letter {{lang|kn|ರ}} (ra). Unlike other letters, the conjunct form is written second even if it is pronounced first in the sequence.

For example, the /rnaː/ in the word ''Karnāṭaka'' (ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ) is written ರ್ನಾ rather than ರ‍್ನಾ.

The nasal consonants {{lang|kn|ಙ}} (ṅa), {{lang|kn|ಞ}} (ña), {{lang|kn|ಣ}} (ṇa), {{lang|kn|ನ}} (na), and {{lang|kn|ಮ}} (ma) are usually written as an [[anusvara]] {{lang|kn| ಂ}} when preceding another consonant rather than a consonant conjunct.

For example, the /ŋg/ in the word ''Beṅgaḷūru'' (ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು) is usually written {{lang|kn| ಂಗ}} rather than {{lang|kn|ಙ್ಗ}} (ಬೆಙ್ಗಳೂರು).
