Virama

A diacritical mark used in Indic scripts to suppress an inherent vowel (e.g., the Hindi viram, the Bengali or Oriya hasanta) or render the entire syllable silent (e.g., the Burmese virama, the Khmer toandakhiat).

Examples :

"The killer in the Hindi word "स्वदेश" (svadeś) suppresses the inherent vowel sound, making it a word without a vowel ending. "
El virama en la palabra hindi "स्वदेश" (svadeś) suprime el sonido vocálico inherente, convirtiéndola en una palabra sin final vocálico.
