FOREWORD

- by UKT 160120, 181116

The term "Indian Buddhism" generally means 'Buddhism written in various forms of Sanskrit', specifically the Skt-Dev of the IE (Indo-European) speaking Iron-Age new-comers headed by the Brahmin-Poannars {poaN~Na:}. They had self-styled their language as Sanskrit - "San" meaning 'refined with strict grammatical rules'. They had made themselves, the Brahmins, 'mouthpiece of the Creator'. Below them, the Ksetriyas 'arms or protectors'. And, Vaishyas the 'thighs or support'. Finally, under all come the Sudras 'feet'. Outside the four classes are the Chandalas 'outcastes - grave diggers and carriers of night-soil'. See also Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caste_system_in_India 181116

In contrast to this term is the Buddhism of the Tib-Bur (Tibeto-Burman) speaking indigenous peoples of the Bronze-Age. The Brahmin-Poannars had militarily overcome the indigenous peoples who had been degraded to the status Sudras 'servants' and Chandalas 'outcastes - grave diggers and carriers of night-soil'. The speeches of the indigenous peoples had been designated as Prakrits 'primitive with no grammar'

I contend that Pal-Myan (Pali speech in Myanmar script) is directly related to Magadhi the speech of Gautama Buddha and King Asoka. Based on the opinion of Rev. F. Mason, author of A Pali grammar on the basis of Kaccayano {shïn kic~sæÑ:}, 1868, - PEG-indx.htm(link chk 160120), I intend to use, whenever appropriate, the term Mag-Myan (Magadhi speech written in Myanmar script) which I hope will replace the term Pal-Myan.

In reading through this work, please keep in mind that my interest in Indic languages and religions is purely linguistic. I have no wish to be involved in religious, and geo-politically issues which have existed throughout the pre- and the modern-history of the human race. Please also remember that the original indigenous peoples of the Indian subcontinent and SEAsia spoke Tib-Bur languages.

Doggie's Tale

-- UKT 130613

Mnemonic The Doggie Tale:
Little doggie cringe in fear -- ŋ (velar),
Seeing Ella's flapping ears -- ɲ (palatal)
And, the Shepard's hanging rear -- ɳ (retroflex).
Doggie so sad he can't get it out
What's that Kasha क्ष when there's a Kha ख ?
And when there's Jana ज्ञ what I am to do with Jha झ?
On top of all there're hissers, Sha श /ʃ/ and Ssa ष /s/,
when I am stuck with Theta स /θ/ !"
