Some of the sounds are a bit off. For example, Ga, Ja, Da, & Ba; your pronunciation sounds like a literal written sound without the 'ha' sound in between all of them. Ga should be Gha, Ja should be Jha, and so on..correct me if you think I'm wrong but not with an excuse of different accents. Thanks for the post...beautiful.

@Rigpa7 it depends where you come from. if you're from lhasa, like me, then you prounce ག་ as gha instead of ga. but some amdos or kham pronounce it as ga

[Rigpa7]

@pematsezom I see. However, I think it's more appropriate to pronounce the letter ག as 'gha' because then we can differentiate the sound when we add ra-go, sa-go, la-go, and so on such as སྒ་ or རྒ་ Otherwise, ག་ and སྒ་ has no difference in sound. Just my opinion.

@pematsezom Thanks for explaining this,I love to learn about language varieties and dialects (and also different regional languages).
