Excerpt from Geography of India: Comprising a Descriptive Outline of All India In pronouncing Indian names, the reader will bear in mind that a is sounded as a in cedar or as u in gun, á as in father, e as a in made, i as in bit, i as i in machine, o as in hole, u as in full, ú as u in rude, ai as it is in aisle, au as ou in house, ch as in church, and th as t in at. In respect to the attempt to give the true spelling of the proper names used in this book, it may be stated that where a name occurs in two forms, thus, Attock (Atak), Benares (Banaras), the one added in a parenthesis is that which most nearly approaches the local vernacular, and should be recognised in preference to the first or more common anglicised form. When no second mode of spelling a name occurs, the one given is either (x) the equivalent of the vernacular, e.g., Panjab, and the mode now generally adopted, or(2) is a form so fixed by usage, e.g., Calcutta, that it is not likely ever to be disturbed.
