Yes! Pronunciation of Pali is defined in the ancient Indian textbooks, which clearly describe the phonemes according to the place and manner of articulation. This standard pronunciation is recognized by Pali scholars internationally. However, in most countries the pronunciation is influenced by local conditions, so the popular Pali pronunciation varies. But we know how it should sound!

Wikipedia has the pronunciation with the phonetic values:

It might be worth you adding a comment to the article. The points Rupert makes are generic to audio content so well worth a mention.

We have now completed readings for the first 100 suttas in the Majjhima Nikaya, we hope to complete the final 52 by April 2020.
We are mainly using Bhikkhu Sujato translations.

Just to note, the SuttaCentral Voice URL linked here is outdated already for a while. The new URL is https://voice.suttacentral.net/scv/index.html#/sutta.

And those are now all linked to SC-Voice and can there be accessed through the menu button:

We have now completed and uploaded all the readings for the Majjihma nikāya. We are hoping to complete the Digha nikāya this year although the elisions in sutta’s 3-13 are proving a bit tricky to understand.

You’ll find one take on how to unroll these suttas at buddhadust, in case that’s helpful :smile:
