[edit]

Since I dont know how to edit sanskrit words in wikipedia, please correct the sanskrit letters to pronounce name correctly as "janaka".

AFAIK the name should be pronounced as "janak" for the transliteration (and in Sanskrit). That is because in Hindi or Sanskrit or any other language that is based on Sanskrit the last "a" of the word is not uttered unless the word requires it. For example, राम् ("Rama" in English) transliterates to "Rām" not "Rāma" because we say it as "Rām" (Rā-m) and not "Rāma" (Rā-ma). Also, although commonly written as राम, the "ma" is always cut to "m" and the last "a" is not uttered - this is implicit and while writing, the last character is usually written as "म" instead of "म्" to save time and extra effort. But "म्" is the correct one, especially while writing single words. Rohitbd 10:07, 11 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
