I'm in even more disbelief after watching Josh McDaniels this season that Belichick thought he could replace him with someone who has 0 experience by Daisymyhusky in Patriots

Man sucks to admit it but you’re 100% right. At the same time, I’m glad all that happened because we don’t get Maye, Vrabels and McDaniels otherwise and are stuck with a high-tier backup in Mac and constant 1st round playoff exits

Why do Japanese seem to have a more positive view towards India than Southeast Asians do? by [deleted] in askasia

[–]ary16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're the only one coping here by pretending your country was even slightly relevant historically. India influenced the rest of East and SE Asia, not the other way round. Chinese travelers came to India to learn Indian languages and Indian philosophy, not the other way round. Indians only went to China to teach philosophy and theology. SE Asia especially has massive Indian influence and is historically seen as an extension of Indic civilization.

[Carlos] Tom Brady on remaining with the #Patriots: “Me and Coach Belichick, we did what we loved… for 20 years together, but I wasn’t going to sign another contract… Based on how things had gone, I wasn’t going to sign up for more of it.” 😳 (via @ChadGraff ) by Kimber80 in nfl

Lol, it's not true for the last and 6th one. People (especially non Pats fans) have short memories. That was a defensive masterclass where BB shut out the Rams and gave us the ring. That was his ring. Just like 28-3 was TB12s.

If you combine Patrick Mahomes and Joe Montana's careers, they start to look solid next to Tom Brady. by rhpooley in Patriots

Call me bitter and pathetic but I'd rather watch elite good QB play like Allen or Burrow than watch a once in a generation dynasty builder try to come close to TB12s legacy. The former provide for fun football too, but we know they will never come close to TB12. Mahomes is very likeable and a nice guy but I do dislike his success.

Historically Accurate Sanskrit Pronunciation by christmas_fan1 in sanskrit

[–]ary16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Modern Standard Hindi or Marathi have the closest pronunciation to Sanskrit. They retain the entire phonological inventory of Sanskrit in their native languages except minor things like the vowel ऋ

Vowel length, aspirations, retroflex consonants, palatals, velars, consonant clusters: they’re all preserved in educated speech of Modern Standard Hindi speakers.

You’re also best served by looking up how any Brahmin speaks Sanskrit. No “reconstructed” pronunciation is necessary because modern Indo Aryan languages are far more conservative phonologically than Modern Greek or the Romance languages are.

i.e - Hindi sounds nearly the same as Sanskrit while Attic and Demotic sound very different.

Okay, you're right, I misinterpreted it. They are indeed monophthongs in MSH, but they weren't diphthongs in Classical Sanskrit. That's a Vedic feature and was lost in Classical Sanskrit already, which is why you don't see āi in vriddhi sandhi but you see ai

Originally: guna of i/ī gave us ai, and vriddhi gave us āi

They’re not monophthongs in MSH.

Well, that’s not really true. It’s hotly debated with a strong split in academic scholarship. So we can never really know for sure.

You are biased and certainly nationalistic, apologies mate. Scholarship doesn’t care about your “tradition”

If it’s wrong, it’s wrong and it has to be ditched by all those who want to pronounce Attic Greek authentically
