youronlyone, 1 year ago to asia How do you read/pronounced #ASEAN? Within ASEAN, 9 out of 10 member nations pronounce it as “as·yan” (if you watch/listen). But here in the #Philippines most say it as “aa·si·yan”. I just heard a third version today: “ey·sea·yan”. ⇒ “What if ASEAN Became One Country?” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DcvYOlQfgk BONUS: For those not familiar with ASEAN, it is a regional group here in South-East Asia. It stands for the “Association of South-East Asian Nations”. There are currently 10 member nations, namely: #Brunei #Cambodia #Indonesia #Laos #Malaysia #Myanmar (f. #Burma) Philippines #Singapore #Thailand #Vietnam There are two observer (potential member) countries: #PapuaNewGuinea (s. 1976) #TimorLeste (#EastTimor; formerly part of Indonesia) (s. 2002) There is also the #ASEANPlusThree (ASEAN+3), the +3 stands for #China, #Japan, and #Korea (#SouthKorea to be specific). And the ASEAN+6 that, hopefully, will become the “East Asia Community”, and the added 3 nations are #Australia, #India, and #NewZealand. #InfoDump #InfoDumpOfTheDay #IDOTD
