RE: 'Saṁyutta' niggahīta pronu nciation

Dear Dmytro,

In Burma, niggahīta is not pronounced as labial m, but rather as a nasalization of the preceding vowel (in which the tongue does not touch the roof of the mouth). See, for example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9lZokbHf-w&list=PLAF8CC4BF0F64C222.

The pronunciation of Pali in Burma is fairly heavily influenced by the way the corresponding graphemes are pronounced in the Burmese language.

Presumably Aggavaṃsa commented upon the pronunciation of niggahīta.

Regards,
Chris
