Re: Pali-Burmese Phonology & Orthography

I'd also be interested to know the details of when & where some of
those recordings were made --or any details about the particular monks
involved.  I think Ken & Vishakha are too busy to reply to my
questions along these lines.

It is interesting that more than one person has remarked to me that
the Khmer pronounciation of Pali is "the worst", but, from my
perspective, it may be "the best" --as they do in fact pronounce all
of the consonant sounds (howeverso transformed they may be).

David Wharton & I recently exchanged notes on regional Pali phonology
and orthography; I met Harald Hundius, too, but I spent most of my
urging him to study the inscriptions at Chiang Saen.  I should
probably transcribe them and print them in the JPTS; nobody can
photograph them, and, if anyone has published anything about them, it
is probably in an obscure Thai National Museum publication.
