Hindi is also shown in Latin characters, using an adapted form of ISO 15919 transliteration.
How to read the transliteration
This site uses transliteration based on ISO 15919, with a few adaptations to make reading easier: h is added after c, ś and ṣ, and i after the vowel r̥. These adaptations bring it closer to the Hunterian system used in India while retaining the distinctive marks of ISO 15919.
| ISO 15919 | On this site |
|---|---|
| c | ch |
| ś | śh |
| ṣ | ṣh |
| r̥ | r̥i |
A few reading pointers:
- ā, ī, ū: the line above the letter indicates a long vowel.
- ṭ, ḍ, ṇ: the dot below distinguishes retroflex consonants from t, d, n.
- A tilde above a vowel indicates nasalisation.

Earlier definition
Definition
(maybe) The Persian wheel (or saqia, tablia, rehat, tympanum) is a lifting device for extracting water from a well using animal traction, a succession of containers filling at the bottom and emptying at the surface, often to supply a land irrigation network. Because it is not using the power of flowing water, the Persian wheel is different from a noria and any other type of water wheel.
(maybe) A noria (Arabic: ناعورة, nā‘ūra, lit. "growler") is a hydropowered scoop wheel used to lift water into a small aqueduct, either for the purpose of irrigation or to supply water to cities and villages.
