No tone marks?
Partly because I wasn’t sure of the sandhi at the time i posted this. However without going to a book to be sure, I pretty sure it’s something like 55 44 12.
As I try saying this now, it strikes me that the two nasals must be affected by assimilation somehow. I guess it’s possible that there isn’t any, but I would find it striking if that were so.
Funny you should mention that. I’ve been thinking the same thing since posting. If what I think I’m hearing is correct, /ɲ/ beats out /n/, so it’s really more like “xiɲian ho”.
