I think the "N before M,B or P" rule makes sense.
Although I'm not a linguist, I speak a couple-or-three and I think
the rule has to do with the physiology of the mouth and is
a practical matter. Farsi has the same rule, e.g. Panbeh (cotton) or
Doshanbeh (Monday) are correctly pronounced Pam-beh and Doe-sham-beh.
