*** Aw c'mon Rajen. Oxomiya pronunciations are not legitimate enough. 
That is why. Didn't you know? Why do you think Assam's standard 
bearers, such as the AT, translates Oxomiya sounds to Sanskrit ones 
first, before they transliterate them. And sounds they are unable 
to,easily, that is, for example the 'xo' sound so unique to the 
Assamese language, they either floow the Bengali or the Hindi 
equivalents, no doubt because those are MORE legitimate than Oxomiya 
sounds.

Is that so hard to process, really?

Give our good friends Manoj or Mohan a break, would ya? When have we 
ever pronounced Xonkordeu as Xonkordeu. That is for illiterate 
'gaonlia' types. The Oxomiya literati does it the way literate people 
ought to: as Sankardeva!

Subserviently yours,

sondon
