dialects in Myanmar (Burma)

@Octahedron80 Why can you ignore what a researcher describes like this? Jenny (2015:556) claims that there are two implosives, namely /ɗ/ and /ɓ/ in Modern Mon (note that he relies upon data collected in mostly Myanmar and Thai–Myanmar border area). What kind of ground do you have for it? --Eryk Kij (talk) 08:35, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

I have heard Mon people do not say any implosives. (YouTube may help.) Implosives are difficult to get along with vowels and lots of words rely on them. (I bet you cannot pronounce them.) /b/ and /d/, read as บ and ด, are explosives instead. SEAlang use /b/ and /d/ everywhere. Or they could be determined as /ɓ/~[b] and /ɗ/~[d] ? --Octahedron80 (talk) 00:17, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

PS I do not have problem if ɓ & ɗ appear in its protolanguage; they are just hypothetic symbol.

@Octahedron80 Yes, I have difficulty with pronouncing implosives indeed, but people like Hausa command them well and I think that Jenny might have employed symbols like b and d if your thought were right. I have more talk for you, so will go to your talk page. --Eryk Kij (talk) 19:24, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

@咽頭べさ If you have the time to answer, what do you think? --Apisite (talk) 11:18, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
