In a previous thread (History of the word "Aryan") Piya Tan suggests:
"I think we should stop speaking English here, and start using Pali. After
all this is a Pali website."
I would like to do this, but has a spoken Pali primer ever been written?
I once asked a former monk friend of mine how to say some simple
phrases and even though he can read Pali very well, he wasn't able to
produce spoken Pali. Does anyone speak Pali anymore? When did they in
the past?
This reminds me of a **Pali phrase book** used to help beginners
communicate in Pali, that I found at a bookseller in Yangon, Burma
several years ago, that was published in Sri Lanka.
Has anyone ever seen such a thing or know where it can be obtained?
