I realise that for 40 days I have been mispronouncing 'vissuddhi'... :roll:
It's not the 's' sound but 'sh'

Thank you for the helpful sharing!

SH is a mistransliteration done by English-speaking people. It doesn't exist in Sanskrit. In Sanskrit you have multiple sibilants, all of which are hissed in a different way. One is cat hiss, another is serpent hiss, and for the other I don't know how to describe. I explained how they are vibrated in previous posts of mine. You will find them with the search function.

There is no 'sh' vibration like in the English 'sheep' and similar. They are all hissed Ss.

I found this whilst researching Sanskrit language letters. It's very informative. Experienced members let me know your thoughts on it - plus or negative.
