Talk:Sai Sudharsan

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If the named person spells their name as "Sudharsan" (even if the "correct" Sanskrit transliteration is "Sudarshan")... should the article not consistently use the named person's preferred spelling? However, there are several instances of 'Sudarshan'in the current article. Perhaps there should be a note to explain the divergence, so that people looking up the Sanskrit word 'sudarshan' can find relevant webpages more easily? I suspect the reason for the spelling divergence in this case is that the named person is from Tamil Nadu, and the Tamil script only has one character 'da', which represents both 'da' and 'dha', so if one is not aware of the Sanskrit, Hindi, Devanagari, or roman transliteration of the word, it is an easy mistake to make? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.171.49.208 (talk) 11:47, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
