Notes

Hindi alphabets ‘L’ (ल) 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 )
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 in Tech Talk forum. You may also use the toolbar at the bottom of the edit window to add non english characters.
A simple technique to insert an equivalent hindi word to a Romanized Haryanvi word is to type and copy from Devnagari Editor.
(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. )
(इस बात का विशेष ध्यान रखा गया है कि संबन्धित शब्द पूर्ण रूप से देसी हो और हिन्दी में आम तौर पर लिखित रूप में प्रचलित न हो, परन्तु कुछ अपवाद हो सकते हैं । रोमन अक्षरों का संयोजन इस प्रकार किया गया है कि देसी शब्द अपने सही रूप में उच्चारित किया जा सके)
