Dear Mr Boruah,
(Boxonto)?
Even if we spell our name as xazwhgtiyas from the land of xazwhgti ,the world will have to learn and spell and say that way! They have no choice-because I call myself that!
Oxom is so sweet and simple--simpler than Xarkov-Ukraine's 2nd City ,or a hundred place names in Dutch,German,Scottish,Irish . And can you spell any of one lakh Chinese place names?
It boils down to how inferior you feel youself calling Oxomiyas of Oxom. I feel excellent and on top of the world -doing that.

First of all I believe that assam and assamese are the most popular and established english versions of okhom/oxom and okhomia/oxomia.Like wise we use India not Bharat in english text, I think it is more appropriate to use assam/assamese if we write in english.Moreover it will never be possible to make outsiders pronounce oxom/oxomia (using roman alphabets) the way the native speakers pronounce these two words. Anyway thats a controversial isssuethanks for your suggestions otherwise.regardsbosantaOn 10/14/06, mc mahant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:<constructive discussion regarding assam and assamese.> MaybeOxom/Oxomiyas
Why don't you list out say 10 different subjects-nearest to your heart-and you begin with a short essay- on the first subject of that list -then others will comment/cut/modify/negate/vilify/ecstatize..... You can put a stop at 100 postings and do net summary--won't that be good?
Maybe another form of blogging-show how!
Them you have all yourQ's/A's+ fun!
