Doggie's Tale - copy-paste
to An Elementary Pali Course, by Ven. Narada Thera
http://www.vipassana.info/pali%20contents.htm
Pāḷi
means "the Text", though it has now come to be the name of a language.
Māgadhī
was the original name for Pali. It was the language current in the
land of Magadha
during the time of the Buddha (6th century B.C.). Suddha Māgadhī,
the pure form of the provincial dialect, was what the Buddha used as
His medium of instruction.
The elements of Pali can be mastered in a few months, Pali opens one's ears to the Dhamma and the music of the Buddha's speech. It is also a lingua franca in Buddhist countries, and therefore worth acquiring. This slender volume is intended to serve as an elementary guide for beginners. With its aid one may be able to get an introduction to the Pali language within a short period.
I have to express my deep indebtedness to my Venerable Teacher, Pelene Siri Vajirañāna Mahā Nāyaka Therapāda, who introduced me to this sacred language. Words cannot indicate how much I owe to his unfailing care and sympathy. My thanks are due to the Venerable Nyānatiloka Thera, for his valued assistance.

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 husher and hisser, Sha श /ʃ/ and Ssa ष /s/,
when I am stuck with Theta स
/θ/ !"
Little Doggie don't be sad,
You are no worse than a Celtic Gnome
Losing G in his name, he is just a Nome!
