[edit] Removed comment about Finnish

As a Finnish speaker I can prove that it is true that anusvaara means "danger of anus".

[edit] No on the merge

I don't support merging this article with Chandrabindu. Although the two diacritics serve the same purpose in certain languages such as Hindi, they have totally different uses in other languages, like Bengali (where anusvara/onushshar is a voiced velar nasal consonant and chandrabindu/chôndrobindu is nasalization on vowels). --SameerKhan 19:46, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
