looking for help finding a correct recorded audio pronunciation for certain letters.
The Admin from buddhadust.net is looking for help finding a correct pronunciation for certain letters. He recently released (link in the msg. below) a newly proofread PED (pali english dict.), and reformatted to be much more readable than the print version.

The other issue is he doesn't have metadata for the pronunciation audio files, doesn't remember where he picked it up from and who is the recorded speaker and compiler of that resource. So if you know that info, pass it along and he'll add it to the next update.

Reply to this thread or send me a PM if you can help.



Msg. from admin:

I am in the process of adding pronunciation audio files to my .htm PED
and you may be able to help me with a couple of missing letters. And
this is probably something you might want to add to your site as well.

Attached is an extract of the "The Pāḷi Alphabet" section taken from the
top of the file:
http://buddhadust.net/backmatter/glosso ... m#alphabet
for your convenience if you wish to change your own file.

I am also uploading this to the site prematurely (hopefully I will
remember to do this before sending you this e-mail!)

the g amd j that do not look like links are ok, the descender obscures
the usual underling.

What I am missing is pronunciation of the anusvāra (the pure nasal ṃ);
the semi-vowels ḷ and ḷh. If you have some way of getting me audio files
for these letters I would appreciate your help. ... or, (I understand
you are knowledgable in the production of these things) you might be
able to extract them from individual words found on my audios file. You
might also check to see that I have got the right file connected to the
right letters for the rest; my hearing is shot. ... that's now ears and
eyes, posture and teeth breaking up at the approach of my Time.

I have all these linked to a file you might want to get:
http://buddhadust.net/backmatter/glosso ... audios.htm

Further than this I will be adding the same links to the individual
letter dividers in the body of the file. I will also be adding links in
the PED to the words this file contains. The links to the dividers will
go up later today, to the words later.
