Extract

Modern Gujrātī has three phonemes in the group of voiced cerebrals: viz. the unaspirated stop ḍ, the unaspirated tapped ṛ, and the aspirated stop ḍh, there being no corresponding aspirated tapped in the standard language. In Gujrātī script ḍ and ṛ are written with the same symbol, while ḍh has a different symbol.

page 673 note 1 This is true in a general way only. For, dialectically, the phoneme ṛh is very common. Following is the probable isogloss for this sound: ḍh for the whole of Kāthiāwar and probably the whole of Pāṭaṇwārā, northern parts of Gujarat including the part from Mount Ābu to Palaṇpur: for ṛh, Ahmedabad, Cairā, Brooch and Surat and the south of Gujarat. It is represented by the same symbol as ḍh in Gujrātī script.
