Even the Marathi name for Bangalore is Benglur. Here "lu" is pronounced as "ळू". Is it same in Kannada? Its like the "zh" sound in Tamil (Tamizh)/Malayalam
Kannada Has ಲು(Lu) and ಳು(Lu) both have same sort of Sound but Pronunciation is Different. The latter Lu is used in Kannada for Bengaluru ಬೆಂಗ(ಳೂ)ರು.. and Tamil's Zh is Different
