An English word with two dot-below diacritics (paṇḍit)? Surely this is in another language. bd2412 T 06:40, 3 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I am sceptical of that kind of marking being preserved in English too. Note that we do have pandit:. Equinox ◑ 20:03, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Different definition, though. bd2412 T 05:33, 4 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I think it’s supposed to be used in the English-speaking community of India to mean a Hindu scholar. In Indian English, they preserve these retroflex consonants. I don’t think we have anyone here who represents the English-speakers of India and we don’t know much about their dialect. —Stephen 05:40, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

RFV failed, entry deleted. I can well believe that they preserve these retroflex consonants, but I can't find any evidence that they use the underdots to denote them. —Ruakh TALK 16:26, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
