so much for the short vowel 'a' and long one 'A'.
in pronounciation ramayana is more close to ramayan, most english educated people put too much stress on the ending a (which is more close to aw) and make it sound like ramayanA which is wrong. But in writing 'a' should be there. But beyond that it is hillarious why 2 educated individuals should fight over such an otherwise insignificant issue. Please chill everybody and concentrate on the main topic and not insult each other peronally.
