Shiksha (linguistics: phonetics, phonology etc.)
Source: Wisdomlib Libary: ŚikṣāShamana Shiksha (शमान शिक्षा, Śamāna Śikṣā): Name of a traditional Hindu treatise on the subject of Shiksha (one of the six Vedangas, dealing with Sanskrit phonetics and phonology).
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.
General definition (in Hinduism)
Source: Peter Freund: A Critical Edition of Svara ŚikṣāŚamāna Śikṣā enumerates the Śamānas in Ṛg Veda. Śamānas are the places where an initial "a" has been elided due to sandhi. Thus the Śamāna Śikṣā is taking the attention to points where there is no expressed speech, where there is no dynamism, only silence: Śamāna Śikṣā teaches the pronunciation of silence. The Śamāna Śikṣā is correlated with the ciliary ganglion, located at the back part of the orbit of the eye. It is the uppermost of all the autonomic ganglia.
