<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->In Hindi it is written and said as "sach". So the evolution from "sath" to "sach" is one facet of the matter. In telugu how is it written, and is it sounded differently from what is written? And why only some have the pronunciation I mentioned? <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
In Telugu, it is not written "sachyam" only as "satyam", only some say "sachyam" most pronounce it as "satyam".
But in writing I have never seen "sachyam", as for write or wrong, i don't think there is such a thing although these so called Telugu teachers will mark you wrong if you write it as "sachyam", all languages have tadbhavas, Tamizh has many in particular.
Another example of this strange difference between written and spoken Telugu is the word "artham" for meaning, it's always written as that but most Telugu speakers pronounce it as "ardham".
Telugu also lacks a letter that Sanskrit has, i don't know how to put it in Roman script, so that is why shatru in Sanskrit becomes setruvu (enemy) and shava becomes sevam (deadbody).
