This is the pronunciation key for IPA transcriptions of Thai on Wikipedia.
It provides a set of symbols to represent the pronunciation of Thai in Wikipedia articles, and example words that illustrate the sounds that correspond to them. Integrity must be maintained between the key and the transcriptions that link here; do not change any symbol or value without establishing consensus on the talk page first.
For an introductory guide on IPA symbols, see Help:IPA.For the distinction between [], // and ⟨⟩, see IPA §Brackets and transcription delimiters.

Notes and references
[edit ]- ↑ Tingsabadh & Abramson (1993 :26): The consonant /r/ is realized most frequently as [ɾ ], but also as [r ], in standard or deliberate pronunciation. In other contexts, however, both of them tend to merge into the lateral approximant /l/, as the clear distinction between the phonemes /r/ and /l/ is consistently maintained only by some speakers. As the second element of consonant clusters, it tends to be omitted altogether (e.g. คริสปีครีม [th ] khrítpìːkriːm → khítpìːkiːm; RTGS: khritpikrim → khitpikim).
- 1 2 3 4 Tingsabadh & Abramson (1993 :26): "In plurisyllabic words, the low tone and the high tone on syllables containing the short vowel /a/ followed by the glottal stop in deliberate speech, become the mid tone when unstressed, with loss of the glottal stop."
- 1 2 3 4 Tingsabadh & Abramson (1993 :26): In syllable-final position, /p,t,k,ʔ/ have no audible release: [p̚,t̚,k̚,ʔ̚].
- ↑ The RTGS uses a hyphen to indicate a syllable break where ambiguity would otherwise arise.
