CAVEAT: The members of this group are articulated in the palatal area, and are known as the palatals. Their POA in Bur-Myan and in Pal-Myan is described as the
{ta-lu.za.Htûn}. They are: च ca , छ cha, ज ja, झ jha, ञ ña in Sanskrit and in Hindi. The second member in Hin-Dev (Hindi-Devanagari) and in Skt-Dev, छ cha, has the sound of English affricate /ʧ/ as <ch> in <church>. The corresponding members in Bur-Myan and in Pal-Myan are:
{Za.},
{ña.}. [
{Ña.} is the horizontal conjunct of two
You must remember that in both Hin-Skt-Dev and Bur-Pal-Myan akshara matrixes, the modes of articulation of the classifiables aka{wag}-consonants are: tenuis, voiceless (vl), voiced (vd), vd-pharyngeal, and nasal. However, the IPA has only: voiceless, voiced and nasal. The missing two are supposed to be aspirates of the preceding.
As a concrete example, in Eng-Lat, the first members, the tenuis, are pronounced as the second members -- the ordinary voiceless (vl). Thus, r2c1{hsin:} /sʰɪn/ 'to descend' and not as
{sin:} /sɪn/ 'to chop'. My American friends always tell me that the two sounds
The palatal consonants in the onset of the syllable are usually pronounced by Burmese and English speakers as fricatives. It is even said that there is no palatal /c/ in English. However, it is possible that palatal /c/ can occur in the coda position in words such as <success> /sək'ses/, where /k/ is actually /c/.
