Reading a New Word

Here's how to read a new word. Split it into syllables. For each one, find the first sound, the whole vowel, the ending, and the letter that sets the class.

บ Mid ClassNo MarkDeadLongLow
ง Low ClassNo MarkLiveShortMid

เงิน has a short vowel, even though เดิน, with the same spelling, has a long one.

ข High ClassNo MarkDeadLongLow
ห High ClassNo MarkLiveShortRising
อ Mid ClassNo MarkDeadLongLow
ตต Mid ClassNo MarkDeadShortLow
ลาดต Mid ClassNo MarkDeadLongLow
