My note here has nothing to do with AVD2025 document. Out of curiosity, I am asking the following question. We Oxomiyas have the unique pronunciation "Xo" and we spend a lot of energy trying to preserve it. It takes a non-native speaker a lot of work to acquire it, and when they do they are proud of it. Does any of the other major Indian langages have a letter or pronunciation that is unique only to that language? Of the other Indian languages, I only know Bengali and Hindi to some extent and these two do not have anything outside of the root Sanskrit alphabet and the corresponding pronunciation. I would like to know from the netters who live in India outside Assam. The languages from southern India would be of special interest. As you may guess, the next question would be - how do they convey the pronunciation to non-natives. Dilip
