In the Thai alphabet, the consonants and vowels are grouped separately. There are nominally 44 consonants, but two are practically obsolete (,), and six more are never used to begin a word, leaving only 36.

Following is a list of vowel sounds, represented by the vowel marks (Sa-Ra) or vowel combinations (Sa-Ra-Pa-Som), with "" added, to show whether each vowel is placed before, after, above, or below a consonant. Sometimes a hyphen is added to represent a following consonant that must be present.

Thai Pronunciation

The Thai language is a tonal language, in that different tones of voice will affect the meaning of a word dramatically. If you were to say the word in a high tone, ie at the top end of your voice's speaking register, the meaning could be entirely different to a word with the same letters, spoken in a low tone of voice.
