Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ a b In the letter series beginning with เค•, เค• = เค•เฅ + เค…; ka = k + a. Thus 'เค•' has the inherent vowel 'เค…', giving 'เค•' without added vowel sign using diacritics (The halanta "เฅ" is removed). But the IPA shown here has the consonant 'k' only & does not include the vowel 'a'.
  2. ^ /bสฑ/ is pronounced either as [bสฑ] or [v].
  3. ^ a b /dส‘/ and /dส‘สฑ/ phonetically may be either [dส‘] and [dส‘สฑ], [dz] and [dzสฑ] or [dส’] and [dส’สฑ] depending on the variety and speaker.
  4. ^ /ษญฬ†/ is pronounced either as [ษญฬ†] or [ษญ].
  5. ^ /pสฐ/ is pronounced either as [pสฐ] or [f].
  6. ^ /สƒ/ is pronounced either as [สƒ] or [ษ•].
  7. ^ a b /tษ•/ and /tษ•สฐ/ phonetically may be either [tษ•] and [tษ•สฐ] or [ts] and [tsสฐ], [tสƒ] and [tสƒสฐ] depending on the variety and speaker.
