Consonants พยัญชนะ
[pha/
yan--
cha/
na/]
|
| |
| The Thai alphabet has 44 consonants. Two of them
are no longer in use and are replaced by other and showed in
grey color in the table below. |
| |
| When consonants are referred to individually
or lists (eg the spelling), then they have an a:w
attached and an epithet, in which the consonant occurs. This
is similar to the English speaking of "Tee
as in Tango". The epithet
is particularly necessary because there are multiple consonants
with the same sound. |
| |
Example: The first letter of the
Thai alphabet represents a sound between the "g" and
"k" (in transliteration, we use "g"). It
is spelled as „[ga:w
-- gai\
]”.
(If you not yet familiar with the sounds and their transcription,
you will find some articles within "basics" in the
menu at left side)
|
| The following table lists all the consonants with their names
in Thai and transcription. Two of the consonants (in grey) are
no longer in use. Click on a consonant to hear his name. |
