The inspiration to transliterate the exact pronunciation of the Jap Ji Sahib came after
attending the European Yoga Festival in France, where I was very fortunate to have sat with
groups of individuals from the festival and supported them with the correct reading of the
Jap Ji Sahib. Despite using the roman transliteration to guide them, many of the individuals
were struggling to articulate and pronounce the various sounds accurately or could not
distinguish between how certain consonant and vowel sounds were physically produced.
It was at this point I identified there was a great need for those who were illiterate in
Gurmukhi and required more than just the roman transliteration. Having studied Linguistics
at university, I was able to analyse the distinctive sounds, phonemes and the separation of
words and syllables of various international languages. I decided to put these skills to use
and phonetically create the sounds of Gurmukhi through the IPA to allow the reader to
recognise and articulate the various consonant and vowel sounds of Gurmukhi as accurately
as possible.
A phonetic chart has been created below, which provides examples of each symbol with its
correct pronunciation and tips on how to articulate the sound according to its place and
manner when reciting the phonetic transliteration of the Jap Ji Sahib.
