The recent row over Cauvery water has brought to fore this word relating to a rice crop in Tamil Nadu. It is a simple word with an easy pronunciation. But because of the iconic character in the film Sholay, it is being mispronounced all over. The media is pronouncing the name as saambaa. Whereas the correct pronunciation is sum-bah.
sum-bah (using respelling)
sambaa (using pronunciation key)
सम्बा (using Devanagari)
