S1 = Bruneian female
S3 = Nigerian male
S4 = Pakistani male

Context : S3 is talking about the situation in Nigeria.

S3 : ... the population is more higher

S4 : mm

S3 : and we have more learneds compared to the other countries

Intended Words: learneds

Heard as: land rights

Discussion: In her transcription, S1 guesed this as land rights, though she realised that this was not correct. The main problem here seems to be the use of learneds to refer to well-educated people. This use of learned as a noun is not generally found in standard English.
