"Deodorant" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers

Deobandi is a term that refers to a conservative and traditionalist movement within Sunni Islam, particularly in South Asia. It emerged in the 19th century as a response to British colonial rule and the perceived corruption and liberalization of Islamic practices. Deobandis are known for their strict adherence to traditional Islamic jurisprudence, their rejection of innovation (bid'a) and their emphasis on the importance of adherence to Islamic law. They are also often characterized by their anti-Shia sentiments and their opposition to Sufism and modern Islamic movements such as the Muslim Brotherhood. The Deobandi movement has had a significant impact on Islamic thought and practice in South Asia and has given rise to various interpretations and sub-movements.
In phonetics, a deobstruent is a sound or sequence of sounds that removes or "unblocks" an obstruction in the articulation of a preceding sound. It is the opposite of an obstruent. Deobstruents typically include sounds like /h/, /j/, and /w/, which are produced with the tongue or lips in a position that opens up the vocal tract and allows air to flow freely. Deobstruents can also include sounds like /l/ and /r/, which are produced by placing the tongue behind the teeth and allowing air to flow through the gap.
A deodand was a term used in medieval England to describe an animal that had caused the death of a human.

In the law, the deodand was considered to be the property of the Crown, and it was often destroyed as a form of punishment or to prevent it from causing harm again.
