Hauma Hamiddha:
What you and Bharatvarsh are doing is explaining the evolution of languages. But when one writes 'Satyam Computers', is it considered right or wrong for someone to say 'Sachyam Computers'?
An argument from my friends is that when one is conversing in English, then one needs to stick to the commonly accepted and understandable pronunciations from the English language's framework. Hence 'Sachyam' is wrong as it is written in Sanskrit, Telugu, Tamil and in English as 'Satyam'.
For example the standard spelling for the lanuage tamil is "TAMIL". Is it right or wrong to pronounce it as tamizh with the 'zha' sound?
