🎚️ What Hindi does with pitch, stress and rhythm — the layer that isn't spelled.
Sound snapshot
Hindi asks the ear for a distinction English does not make, and makes it twice. Every stop comes in four versions: plain, aspirated, voiced, and BREATHY-voiced — क ख ग घ, ka kha ga gha. And it runs that four-way set across two places English merges into one: dental त (tongue on the teeth) and retroflex ट (tongue curled back to the roof). Sixteen consonants where English has four. Breathy voice is not aspiration: the folds stay slack and keep vibrating through the puff, which is why भ is not just a loud ब. The tracer here reads the ROMANISATION, not the Devanagari — but Devanagari is worth learning early, because unlike English it spells exactly what it means.
