| <h2>IMPORTED REVISION FROM WIKISPACES</h2>
| | '''Indian music''' is one of the major microtonal traditions of the world (along with the [[Arabic, Turkish, Persian music|Middle Eastern]] family of traditions). It has two main subcategories: South Indian music known as Carnatic and North Indian music known as Hindustani. |

| Its measuring unit is the **shruti** (sometimes spelled šruti, sruti or shruthi), which roughly corresponds to a quartertone. There are 22 shrutis per octave, 13 per fifth and 9 per fourth. A size of 4 sruti for the major whole tone follows from that. The step sizes of the heptatonic scales ([[shadja grama]], [[madhyama grama]]) are given as sequences of 4, 3, and 2 sruti

| It can be (and has been) approximated with [[22edo]] - the "traditional" tuning system, however, is unequal.
| | There is no single standardized non-ambiguous definition of the exact sizes of all shruti intervals. |

| ==Other links== | | The system has been approximated by [[22edo]], though the traditional tuning system is unequal, and split-shruti systems may approximated by the 22 & 34d (or 12 & 22 or even 10 & 12 generalized [[diaschismic family|diaschismic]] if simplicity or accuracy is no object) temperament. |

| | The {{w|Shruti (music)|Wikipedia entry on shrutis}} gives a quite accurate approximation of the shruti system as a 22-note subset of [[53edo]]. (See also a discussion on the [https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_104546.html#104549 Yahoo tuning list]) |
