    Sanskrit language
    Hello everyone,

    I am in need of some help and I am looking for somewone that knows Sanskrit.
    I want to know if the name in the picture is correct.

    Can anyone tell me what name you read in the picture? I just need to know before I go to the tattoo artist.

    Thanks you VERY much in advance

    I guess the name is Marin Klekovich, but what is written is (approximate IPA) /mɑːrin̪ kleːkoːʋɦiːc/ (mah-rin clay-ko-vheech).

    The first word is probably the best for "Marin", but whether you're happy with "vh" or "v" in the second word is up to you: David Beckham got a tattoo which similarly said "Vhictoria" instead of "Victoria", and there was some fuss about it in the papers. :)

    In case you want to change the second word ('vh' to 'v'), alternatives are:

    क्लेकोवीच (clay-ko-veech)

    क्लेकोविच (clay-ko-vich)
