In Hinduism
Shiksha (linguistics: phonetics, phonology etc.)
Bāhyaprayatna (बाह्यप्रयत्न) refers to the “external effort” of articulation (uccāraṇa) according to Indian linguistic tradition (viz., śikṣā, ‘phonetics’, vyakaraṇa, ‘grammar’, nirukta, etymology’ and chandas, ‘prosody’.).
Bāhyaprayatna is of three types:
- spṛṣṭa (plosive),
- īṣatspṛṣṭa (approximant),
- īṣatsaṃvṛta (fricative).
Shiksha (शिक्षा, śikṣā) deals with Sanskrit linguistics and represents a branch of vedanga (vedic ancillary science). Shiksha deals with subjects such as phonetics, phonology, study of sound, letters of the Sanskrit alphabet and related topics. Much attention is also given to the study of recitation (patha) of Vedic verses.
