#I'm glad burmese is my first language because I looked up how to pronounce “unvoiced apical alveolar nasal stop” and was deftly intimidated

Guys, I finally learned how to spell my name in IPA! Ready for it?

n̥ɪ́ɴ ʔú lwɪ̀ɴ

I can't express how psyched I am about it. No foreigners I've met could ever pronouce the word "n̥ɪ́ɴ" like they don't even know how that "n̥" sound is coming out of my mouth. I've tried time and time again to spell it phonetically but it's just not intuitive for people from other countries. Well, now I can show this! and yeah, that n̥ is a doozy. apparently it's an "unvoiced apical alveolar nasal stop" (oof) it's "hn" where you're relasing the h into your nose while not voicing the word "n"
