That was a typo, I wasn't thinking. "Boreanesia" is /borIniZia/ in my
speech in reality, I typed that far to quickly. The /S/ vs /Z/ problem
is because I was doing that transcription in my head, and in my head I
don't distinguish between voiced & unvoiced consonants. The improperly
placed /I/s were just bone-headedness.
I pronounce "Asia" /ejSia/, and Indonesia /Indo:niZia/
Of course, those pronouncions based on my typo are really interesting.
Well, I'm sorry I decieved you into thinking I was an interesting
person, it was really just a typo. ;o)
