Glossary of Haryanavi Language

Notes
1. Hindi alphabets ‘L’ (ल) or and ‘LL’ (ळ) are different. For example ‘L’ (ल) is pronunciated as in ‘Kal’
(कल) and the accent of ‘LL’ (ळ) is like we utter the word ‘Hall’ (Plough – हळ )
2. Devanagari alphabets may not be visible on some computers - some PCs do not support Devanagari
fonts. Those viewers should install Devanagari font 'Mangal' - for details, please see the thread Tips
for use of Hindi on your computer (https://www.jatland.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13233) in
Tech Talk (https://www.jatland.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=17) forum. You may also use the
toolbar at the bottom of the edit window to add non english characters.
3. A simple technique to insert an equivalent hindi word to a Romanized Haryanvi word is to type and
copy from Devnagari Editor (http://www.chhahari.com/unicode/).?
4. (Due care has been taken to ensure that the word is purely of desi origion and is not commonly used
in written form in Hindi language - however, there may be a few exceptions. The spellings in Roman
alphabets have been set in such a way that the ‘desi’ word is pronunciated in the most accurate
accent as far as possible. )
5. (इस बात का �वशेष �यान रखा गया है �क संब��धत श�द पूण� �प से दे सी हो और �ह�द� म� आम तौर पर �ल�खत �प म� �च�लत न हो, पर�तु
कुछ अपवाद हो सकते ह� । रोमन अ�र� का संयोजन इस �कार �कया गया है �क दे सी श�द अपने सही �प म� उ�चा�रत �कया जा सके)
6. To write in Hindi see �ह�द� म� कैसे �लख�

Desi Calendar
While the Oldest Indian calendar still in use is stated to be 5200 years old (starting from the time of Mahabharata), the Vikrami Era
(which is 57 years ahead of Christian era), is called the ‘Desi Calendar’. Since it is based on both solar and lunar activities,
astronomers view it as the most accurate one for calculation of time. Each month is divided into two parts: the first fifteen days as
the ‘Dark fortnight’ (कृ�ण प�) and the latter half, the ‘moon-lit bright fortnight’ (शु�ल प�). The Holi Festival is actually the last
day of the year. From the 15 March 2006, desi year 2063 has started.
The Names of the 12 months are as under (In Sanskrit/Hindi only): चै�, वैशाख, �ये�, आषाढ, �ावण, भा�, आ��न, का�त�क, अ�हायण,
पौष, माघ, फा�गुन.
In our villages, there is a slight variance in the pronunciation of names of these months and these are uttered as under –
1: Chait चैत / 2: Basaakh बसाख / 3: Jeth जेठ / 4: Saadh साढ / 5: Saamann सामण / 6: Bhaadavaa भादवा / 7: Aasauj आसौज / 8: Kaatik
का��क / 9: Mangsir मंग�सर / 10: Pauh पौह / 11 Maah माह / 12: Phagann फागण.
