The nasals c5, as a group presents an un-surmountable problem because of the lack of graphemes and phonemes in Eng-Lat. For 5 of Bur-Myan, Eng-Lat has only 2. Because of this, I subdivide the nasals into:
Semi-nasals: /ŋ/ (velar), /ɲ/ (palatal), /ɳ/ (retroflex)
True-nasals: /n/ (dental), /m/ (bilabial).
In particular r1c5, the velar nasal /ŋ/ which has some /g/ very prominent in Mon-Myan, was the problem until I change the nuclear vowel V in CVÇ by adopting the convention shown below.
- UKT 180830:
English speakers can pronounce the nasals /n/ and /m/.

UKT 180715: Because of rarity of Hissing and Hushing fricatives, Bur-Myan is low
in Noise intensity. Because of this, BEPS has to be adjusted when Skt-Dev and
Engl-Latin are incorporated, and I can no longer rely on IPA.
