Original Wikitext content:

Indian music is one of the important microtonal music traditions (along with the [[Arabic, Turkish, Persian|arabic/turkish/persian]] tradtition).

The basic element is the shruti (sometimes spelled šruti, sruti or shruthi), which roughly corresponds to a quartertone. There are 22 shrutis per octave; it can be (and has been) be approximated with [[22edo]] - the "traditional" tuning system, however, is unequal.

An explanation about the shruti system and a traditional derivation of the 22 shrutis:
