===Vowels===
[[Vowels]] (''svara''), in their conventional order, are historically grouped into "short" (''hrasva'') and "long" (''dīrgha'') classes, based on the "light" (''laghu'') and "heavy" (''guru'') syllables they create in traditional verse. The historical long vowels ''ī'' and ''ū'' are no longer distinctively long in pronunciation. Only in verse do syllables containing them assume the values required by meter.{{sfn|Mistry|1996|pp=391–392}}

Finally, a practice of using inverted ''mātra''s to represent [[English language|English]] {{IPA|[æ]}} and {{IPA|[ɔ]}}'s has gained ground.{{sfn|Mistry|1996|p=393}}
