When I wrote about the vowel sound R^i being as the sound French Gaelic
'u' - few known from a lot of people were French is not the second
official language, but well known at all West European Countries (less
Spain) as also Canada -, I just took from the great German Philologists
of Sanskrit. In fact around the middle of the nineteenth have concluded
this great German Philologists that the German, in special, and the
Nordic European languages, in general, (above at all the English), had
receive a strong Sanskrit influence, fact already under "suspicion"
around the end of the seventeen century with the so called ocean
discoveries and the advance of the Catholic missions in the East and West
continents. In the the fifteen century a Jesuit appeared in the Europe
with his first translation in Latin of the PanchaTantra the, posteriori,
gave origine to the Fabulas of La-Fontaine. This way and based in this
sumula, when the Germans as the English Philologists decided to
"universalize" the first Romanization system of the Sanskrit, that
posteriorly would be extended to the Chinese and the other East Asian
syllabaries, they did call attention for a set of symbols sounds absent
in the English and German languages but present in quite all Mediterranic
languages - including here the Portuguese. In this attention special
place is given to the R^i vowel pronounced (as a better-nearest choice)
as R^ü being 'ü' the same of the French Gaelic pronunciation.
I don´t want t put "more ashes in this fire", neither to make the group
loose time with this "small" aspects, but I ask myself why have I "lost"
so much money travelling around India looking for an homogeneous-
consensual Sanskrit pronunciation... of course that was an utopia this
my assumption of 'sacred implies perfection' and this imperfection is
universal, i.e: common to all considered sacred languages around this
blue Globe.
