Akshara

Akshara is a fundamental unit of language in many Indian languages, representing a syllable or a combination of consonants and vowels. It’s the building block of written and spoken words, similar to how letters form words in English, but often more complex, combining sounds into a single symbol. For example, in Hindi, the word "संपर्क" (contact) consists of multiple aksharas. These are essential in phonetics, linguistics, and script development, helping to analyze and understand language structure and pronunciation more effectively.
