ब्रह्मा
The name in its original Devanagari form. ब्रह्मा → Brahmā. Sanskrit Brahmā is written in Devanagari as ब्रह्मा · IAST transliteration maps each Devanagari vowel and consonant to a Latin equivalent · Macrons mark long vowels (ā, ī, ū); dots beneath consonants mark retroflex articulation (ṭ, ḍ, ṇ, ṣ)
BRAHMA
Stripped of its identity, the name was reduced to plain Latin letters. The original orthography — stress, length, breathing — was erased by systems that only understand A-Z.
