Transliteration follows standard spelling rules. Pronunciation in Gurbani can differ; for shudh ucharan, learn from santhya.
What is transliteration?
Transliteration writes the same words in a different script. It helps people who can't yet read Gurmukhi follow along in English letters, Hindi or Shahmukhi. It isn't translation: the meaning stays in Punjabi.
Is the English transliteration the same as pronunciation?
It is a close guide. Gurbani has its own ucharan rules, such as how aunkarh at the end of a word is read, so use santhya to learn exact pronunciation.
