Anusvaar and Visarg
(somewhere between vowels and consonants)
Anusvar is a nasal sound, appearing usually before a consonant and sounds like an "n" or an "m" depending on how it is used, and that is how we have shown it in transliteration
Visarg is often pronounced as a softer and shorter version of the vowel which it follows. We have used either "h" or "ha" depending on the way it sounds
when sung.
