ം

Letter

 * 1) The combining form of the vowel, anusvara.

Usage notes

 * This grapheme is appended to the right side of a consonant, and changes the syllable's vowel sound from /a/ to /am/.
 * It can also change into a homorganic nasal before a plosive or affricate e.g. as /ŋ/ in സംഗീതം but not before other consonants where it stays as /m/ e.g. അംശം, സംരംഭം.
