Shabda is a Sanskrit word that roughly means speech sound. The term plays a central role in the discourse of the philosophical schools in India in the first millennium. The followers of the Nyaya school of thought basically define shabda as a sound, i.e. on the basis of its phonetic form and its generation by the organs of speech. These decisions have far-reaching philosophical consequences.
