#3739: Manbo/anbago : Grey comments
From:Racine125@aol.com
<< I first discovered this with
our song "Ambargo" which someone eventually corrected to "Anbago".
The "m" was coverted to an "n"(nasal) and the "r" was dropped as is
common in creole. In English, "embargo" has the "m". "Mambo" would
sound phonetically correct to someone who wasn't native to the
nasal "n" sound.
Richard Morse >>
"Mambo" IS phonetically correct. Anbago is phonetically correct. Mambo and
anbago do not have the same pronunciation in the relevant parts of the words.
Peace and love,
