Aṅguttara Nikāya
(numbered collection)
Eleven Nipāta's. This is an oral tradition, everything is memorized. Humans having 10 fingers, you can see why the Nipāta's only advance up to 11, since the theme of this Nikāya is to remember things by numbered associations.
🤖 Roboman English audio recording read timings in hours (hr), read at fluent conversational speed, give you an idea of how long it takes a sutta reciter monk charged with the fidelity of memorizing suttas, to recite all the suttas in that group. Chanting fast, they probably could get through it about 1/2 to 1/3 of the conversational speed.
