! colspan="4"| Consonants

IPAIn the letter series beginning with {{lang|mr|क}}, {{lang|mr|क}} = {{lang|mr|क्}} + {{lang|mr|अ}}; ka = k + a. Thus '{{lang|mr|क}}' has the inherent vowel '{{lang|mr|अ}}', giving '{{lang|mr|क}}' without added vowel sign using diacritics (The halanta "्" is removed). But the IPA shown here has the consonant 'k' only & does not include the vowel 'a'.MarathiIASTEnglish Approximation
