SC Voice – the road to v1

Here’s a new clip for Bhante @sujato and you with an accentuated break combined with a vowel change. The apostrophe stresses the second a which is a slightly different vowel: əcchəɾɪjə’abbʰʊt̪əsʊt̪t̪ə

Since Pali was essentially the written down Esperanto of ancient times, perhaps correctness should also consider the ability of different native listeners to distinguish the sounds. Our current global languages may introduce a need to amend traditional Asian Pali pronunciation slightly so that we don’t mis-hear the Pali.
