pronunciation are shown below, as extracted from:-www.jaspell.uk/sounds_dev_unicode.htm
and www.jaspell.uk/devanagari/pron.pdf.

Vowels are nasalized with a moon-dot (chandrabindu) or, if
part of the vowel is above the bar, only a dot (bindu). For example, kā͂ काँ and kĩ किं. The nasal mark is Romanized
as ‘ ͂ ’.

Vowels and then consonants are in their order of sound
classification.
Vowels in Devanagari Alphabetical Order (independent and
trailing)
a अ ka क, ā आ kā का, i इ ki कि, ī ई kī की, u उ ku कु, ū ऊ kū कू, ŗ ऋ kŗ कृ, e ए ke के, ê ऐ kē कै, o ओ ko को, ô औ kô कौ, ḥ ः kḥ कः, ͂ ঁ kã कँ
a sounds mostly like ‘a’ in along,
but like ‘o’ in pot in pa, pḫa, ba, bḫa,
ma. (Contrast ‘a’ in calculate with ‘a’ in mangetout
or wander.)
ā sounds long like ‘a’ in past, father or
palm.
The
English sound of ‘a’ in apple is
written as a long ā
with a chandra moon ऑ. We will use ӑ,
but yā’ may be used instead, as
in tyāksī (taxi).
A
similar sound is written as e
with a chandra moon ऍ. We’ll show it as ӗ.
i sounds short like ‘i’ in pill.
ī sounds long like ‘ie’ in believe.
u sounds short like ‘u’ in pull.
ū sounds long like ‘oo’ in pool.
ŗ sounds short like ‘ri’ in prickly or prismoidal.
e sounds of medium length like ‘e’ in pen or
‘ay’ in pay.
ê is classified as a long ē ,
but we’re using ê to
show that it sounds like the diphthong ‘ei’ in feint or
‘ai’ in faint.
(Many books Romanize ऐ as ‘ai’, but this can be
confused with the short vowels ‘a’
and ‘i’ together—अइ)
o sounds of medium length like ‘o’ in told.
ô is classified as a long ō ,
but we’re using ô to
show that it sounds like the diphthong ‘ow’ in now
or, rarely, as in owner.
(It is often Romanized as ‘au’, but this could be confused with short vowels ‘a’ and ‘u’
together—अउ.)
ḥ (‘visarga’) is abruptly expelled like ‘uhh’ or as
‘ah’ in Judah.
`
is our Romanization of the halant (or hasanta) mark (্) that shows no vowel is
present—as in paḍḫ`nu
(not paḍḫanu) (to read).
͂
represents the nasalization of vowels, as in a,
ã; ā,
ā͂; kā,
kā͂.
Consonants in the Alphabetical Order of Devanagari

Sibilant:
śa,
ṣa, sa

Aspirant:
ha
ह
c sounds like ‘ch’ in ‘chin’.
ḫ is used to indicate that the associated consonant
is ‘huffed’. (Compare ‘bh’ in the
English word, ‘abhor’.
h is a separate consonant, not like ḫ that is used to ‘huff’ consonants.
Foreign sounds are represented by adding a dot to the
closest sounding Devanagari characters. fa = फ़ , qa = क़ , za = ज़ .
