  Anusvaara - Definition, explanation
Anusvaara (or anusvaaram) appears in the alphabet of Indian languages like Sanskrit which use the Devanagari script, and in the Dravidian languages.
Anusvaara nasalizes pronunciation of the vowel sound to which it is attached (namely, the one just preceding it).
In Sanskrit often the anusvaara is replaced by the corresponding nasal consonant.

 Re: Devanagari
>From a linguistic point of view, in modern-day Hindi "candrabindu" basically means the nasalization of the vowel it is attached to, while "anusvaara" is a mark of a nasal consonant, homorganous with the sound following it.
In these two examples, a nasalized vowel is meant, but an "anusvaara" is written out, since it looks nicer because of the other above-combining diacritic.
This is, however, just a modern convention of the use of these two marks, and in many Sanskrit texts these rules are not followed.

Anusvaara nasalizes pronunciation of the sound to which it is attached (namely one just preceding it).
The exact nature nasalization depends on the consonant sound which it (or if it is at the of a word by the "m" sound).
It is represented with a Dot above the letter ( ṃ or).

 Rules of Sandhi
According to the tenth Rule, "m" is always transformed into "Anusvaara" when situated at the end of a word and followed by a Consonant.
In turn, if the Consonant is not "sh, s, s or h", Anusvaara (m) may be optionally transformed into the Nasal of the class to which that consonant belongs.
Anusvaara may also be optionally changed to Anunaasika (m).

 Sanskrit 5 (6)
Anunaasika is to be pronounced as Anusvaara but the mouth should remain open and the sound must be even more nasalized.
Anusvaara (m) + any Consonant except "sh, s, s and h" = Anusvaara is optionally changed to the Nasal to which the Consonant belongs (this is a kind of complement to the tenth rule of Consonant Sandhi)
If Anusvaara is followed by these consonants, I have no way out but using the tenth rule, obviously.

 Encyclopedia: Tonal language
Actually Vedic Sanskrit is more often called a pitch accent language, but since a small number of words in the late pronunciation of Vedic carry the so called independent svarita on a short vowel one can argue that late Vedic was marginally a tone language.
Note however that in the metrically restaured versions of the Rig Veda almost all of the syllables carrying an independent svarita must revert to a sequence of two syllables the first of which carries an anusvaara and the second a (so called) dependent svarita.
Early Vedic was thus definitely not a tone language but a pitch accent language.

Sanskrit also has palatal, retroflex, and alveolar sibilants.
Rounding out the consonants are the voiced and voiceless h (the voiceless h, called the visarga, tends to repeat the preceding vowel after itself) and the anusvaara, which often appears as nasalization of the preceding vowel or as a nasal homorganic to the following consonant.
Vedic Sanskrit had a pitch or tonal accent, but it was lost by the Classical period.

 orden alfabético   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
El orden alfabético es el que hemos seguido antes al explicar la pronunciación: primero vocales, luego anusvaara, visarga, plosivas, semivocales, sibilantes y hache.
Pero con una salvedad: cuando la.m va delante de, por ejemplo, t, como la combinación.mt se pronuncia de hecho nt, esta.m cuenta como si fuera n a la hora de ordenar alfabéticamente.
Por ejemplo, la palabra cuyo masculino singular es bhagavaan habrá que buscarla en bhagavat, porque en compuestos se dice "bhagavadgiitaa", a pesar de que Coulson clasifica esta palabra bajo el epígrafe "stems in nt-".

In the last case, a missing visarga or anusvaara may have to be supplied, though this is often indicated.
But vowels, of course, would rob Rajaram of his chances to find Vedic treasure in Harappan inscript ions - where he discovers everything from horse thieves to Rigvedic kings and advanced mathematical formulae.
Peculiarly, in contrast to the lack of vowel signs, Jha and Rajaram give us a profusion of special signs that stand for fine grammatical details including word-final -H and -M (Visarjaniya and Anusvaara; if these are missing, you can just toss them in); special verb endings like -te; and noun endings such as -su.
