Noteː [t͡ʃ] and [d͡ʒ] the voiceless and voiced post-alveolar affricatives are interpreted
as units as they are inseparable, and according to the principle of economy they are
treated as units. They act as plosives. The 1996 Sociolinguistic Survey by Indian Institute for Cross Cultural Communications showed that there is a dialect difference. But we, the author at their work have been staying among the people we found free variation of the phoneme t͡s and  t͡ʃ between the villages near to Andhra and the Gadaba villages where Desiya is lingua franca. However, phoneme findings show that no separate letter is requested for representing this.
