In Indian music, the corresponding syllables are:

(Ascending same as Descending)

1 (Root) - Sa
2 - Re
3 - Ga
4 - Ma
5 - Pa
6 - Dha
7 - Ni
8 (Root/Octave) - Sa


The other 5 chromatic notes use the same syllables as above (ie. "2" and "b2" both share the pronounced syllable "Re")

The difference being, the use of an underline below to denote a flat, or a horizontal dash above to denote sharp:

2 and b2 - share Re
3 and b3 - share Ga (use of #2 not used)
4 and #4 - share Ma (use of b5 not used)
6 and b6 - share Dha (use of #5 not used)
7 and b7 - share Ni

#2, b5, and #5 are not used since there is no need for enharmonic respelling of scale movements up or down from lack of harmonic movement
