Christian írta: "Brin and brun used to be pronounced as [bRE~] and [bR9~],
respectively.  As Christophe would be happy to tell you if he were still on
the list, that phonemic pair has been lost in the course of the last
century. Nowadays, they are both pronounced [bRE~], so don't feel compelled
to hear a difference just because the spelling would suggest so."

The French I learned distinguishes [E~] and [9~]. How about other L2
Francophones?

BTW: Christophe informed me offlist he might return in a few months :D :D :D
