Alternative pronunciation "bramha"

Brahma, and some related words are often pronounced bramha (bramhaputra, ..).

It seems that this variant is more common in Bangladesh / east India. But i don't dare to insert this info based on my tiny personal research, since i am not an indologist.

Brahma vs Brahmā

Currently, there's an inconsitency just at the beginning of the article perex, ब्रह्म (Brahma) vs Brahmā (ब्रह्मा). (See also older discussion ). I wonder which variant is correct. Brahmā (ब्रह्मा) is mentioned in dictionaries (for the masculine personal god meaning), however, i was unable to find even a single occurrence in the Cologne corpus, but hundreds of brahma ones. —Mykhal (talk) 17:50, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Fixed, to be consistent with hindi and sanskrit pages. —Mykhal (talk) 11:44, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

Consort of lord bhrahma

As i know the wives of lord bhrahma are goddess Gayatri and goddess Brahamani while Saraswati is Daughter of lord Brahma Nilay Shukla (talk) 07:06, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

When Brahma needed knowledge to create the universe, Saraswati came out from his head to help him. Brahma never created her and she is hardly regarded as his daughter. Brahmani is the warrior form of Saraswati. 245CMR (talk) 03:33, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

I thought Sarswati being the daughter of brahma was a misconception created by anti hindus lol. 950CMR (talk) 14:31, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Name

The closest to correct pronunciation (and transliteration) is Bramhā. It is one of the rare examples where Sanskrit is not phonetic. Ditto for Brāhman. Fixed here.

245CMR undid my correction to the transliteration. Might I invite him/her to a discussion? I believe he/she is incorrect.

All the reliable sources spell the deity as "Brahma". Sorry but Misplaced Pages is based on these sources and cannot change on the basis of original. Hope you understand..245CMR.• 08:45, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
