===Miśra vowels and vocalics=== There are six additional vowel and syllabic consonants in the ''miśra'' alphabet. The two [[diphthong]]s are quite common, while the vocalic ṛ is much rarer, and ḷ is all but obsolete. The latter two are almost exclusively found in loanwords from Sanskrit.{{sfnp|Matzel|1983|p=8}} The ''miśra'' {{angle bracket|ṛ}} can also be written with ''śuddha'' {{angle bracket|r}}+{{angle bracket|u}} or {{angle bracket|u}}+{{angle bracket|r}}, which corresponds to the actual [[pronunciation]]. The ''miśra'' syllabic ḷ can be replaced by ''śuddha'' {{angle bracket|l}}+{{angle bracket|i}}.{{sfnp|Matzel|1983|p=14}} Miśra {{angle bracket|au}} is rendered as ''śuddha'' {{angle bracket|awu}}, ''miśra'' {{angle bracket|ai}} as ''śuddha'' {{angle bracket|ayi}}. {| class="wikitable letters-pink" |- |+Miśra vowels and vocalics, and examples with {{angbr|ක}} |- |{{letter|l=si|ch1=ඍ|ch2=ෘ|iso=r̥|ipa=[ru]}} |{{letter|l=si|ch1=ඎ|ch2=ෲ|iso=r̥̄|ipa=[ruː]}} |{{letter|l=si|ch1=ඓ|ch2=ෛ|iso=ai|ipa=[aj]}} |{{letter|l=si|ch1=ඖ|ch2=ෞ|iso=au|ipa=[au]}} |{{letter|l=si|ch1=ඏ|ch2=ෟ|iso=l̥|ipa=[li]}} |{{letter|l=si|ch1=ඐ|ch2=ෳ|iso=l̥̄|ipa=[liː]}} |- |{{letter|l=si|ch=කෘ|iso=kru|ipa=[kru]}} |{{letter|l=si|ch=කෲ|iso=krū|ipa=[kruː]}} |{{letter|l=si|ch=කෛ|iso=kai|ipa=[kaj]}} |{{letter|l=si|ch=කෞ|iso=kau|ipa=[kau]}} |{{letter|l=si|ch=කෟ|iso=kl̥|ipa=[kli]|note={{noteTag|name=l|group=misravowels|Mainly used in conjunction with another diacritic, {{angbr|ෙ}}}}}} |{{letter|l=si|ch=කෳ|iso=kl̥̄|ipa=[kliː]|note={{noteTag|name=ll|group=misravowels|Not in contemporary use.}}}} |} {{noteFoot|group=misravowels}}
