Talk:अक्तूबर

A "halant" at the bottom of a letter does not always make it a "half letter." क़ is not the same as half क. The template needs work.


 * There is no template in use on this page. I do not understand what you are talking about.  क़ (q) is not the same as क (k) or even half क (k). --Dijan 18:58, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Which is more common, अक्तूबर or अक्टूबर?
Should we make one of them the main form and the other one link to it as an alt form? Benwing2 (talk) 03:49, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Former gets ~7 million hits on Google, latter ~12 million. On Google News, the later is overwhelmingly preferred (factor of 20). I prefer the former personally when speaking, but this much points to the latter as main entry, with former as an altform. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान) 03:51, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah though अक्तूबर could've been the original word, borrowed from Portuguese and अक्टूबर could be influenced by 🇨🇬, since t is realized in Hindi as the retroflex ट. -- Bhagadatta (talk) 04:21, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
