Note on the Pronunciation of Pāli Names

Short a, as in organ, or like the u in but. The other vowels, as in the key-words, far, pin, pīque, pull, rûle, (and roughly) they, so. Pronounce c like ch in church, and j as in judge. The "aspirates" are true aspirates: thus, th, dh, ph, as in hothouse, madhouse, uphill. They are not spirants as in thin, graphic. The underdotted t, d, n, etc. are pronounced (by the Hindus, at least) with the tip of the tongue turned up and drawn back. Dotted m indicates nasalization of the preceding vowel. {mo: Note by C. M. Weimer edited by me -- None of the under-dotted letters are represented in this transcription}
