All vowels are usually of uniform duration. In rare cases, adding apo (apostrophe mark) will prolong them. Vowels in some Marathi words are faintly nasal (Like -on- in French word -bon-). Put (m') after symbols of such vowels. Do not read (aa, ae, ao) as vowel (a) followed by vowel (a, e, o). Read (ai, au) as vowel (a) followed by vowel (i, u).
Consonants : b (boy) ch (chair) ch' (between ch, s) d (th -they) d' (d -dog) g (girl) h (he) j (jam) j' (between j, z) k (king) l (lamp) l' (hard l) m (man) n (no) n' (hard n) p (pin) r (run) s (see) sh (she) t (like French t ) v (w -woman) y (yes) z (zoo). Sounds (d, l, n, t) and (d', l', n', t') are respectively dental and retroflex (hard). Sound (h) is not uttered in (ch, ch', sh). Sound (h) is mixed in consonants bh, chh, dh, d'h, gh, jh (like s - measure), kh, lh, mh, nh, ph (photo) rh, th (thin), t'h, vh (like v - vote). Consonants (ch, chh, j, jh, y, sh) and (ch', j', z, r, s) are respectively called palatal and alveolar in phonetics.

(Put 2 dots after an end question / exclamation mark). Optionally, retain traditional spelling of names with first letter capital for warning. Write (meri, inglish) or (Mary, English).
