if "x" is used everywhere, how one will differentiate the pronounciation "talbya S", "moordhnya S" and "dantiya S"? If there is no difference, what is the use of keeping three different alphabets in the language? Please think! -------------------------------------------------------------------- http://groups.yahoo.com/group/assamonline/message/2460 Above is cut & paste from Dilip Sir's email.
As because there are differences, I think those who are using "x" everywhere they are taking an oversimplifying approach. I am a native Assamese, trying to estimate frequency-band to find answers to the following questions: -------------------------------------------------------------------- In native Assamese: * What is the voice frequency-band of /x/ as you speak Xaikia? * What is the voice frequency-band of /x/ as you speak Oxom? * What is the voice frequency-band of /x/ as you speak Dax? -------------------------------------------------------------------- see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/assamonline/message/2451 by Deka Sir but it seems I have problems in estimating audio-frequency. I know how to do it for radio frequency and communications channels because I am Electronics & Communications graduate. Anybody out there who knows how to estimate for audio-frequency please enlighten. The answer to the following questions is -------------------------------------------------------------------- * How an American English speaker will pronounce the following words (if you do not train the speaker how to pronounce)? Axom, Dax, Oxom, Raxi, Xabha, Xahitya, Xaikia, Xanjib, Xarma, Xatra, Xatriya, Xattra, Xattriya, Xaurav, Xaxadhar, Xewali, Xujal -------------------------------------------------------------------- "no English speakers can pronounce correctly without training". Thanks, -Nandan
