  Low Tone Class Thai Consonants

 

Thailand

An art display with the low tone consonants of the Thai alphabet arranged in mnemonics. The low tone class can be divided into two groups, separating consonants that have an equivalent sound in either the high or mid tone class, from those that don't.

 

The first group of 10 consonants is referred to as akson tam diaw (อักษรต่ำเดี่ยว), i.e. ‘single low consonants’, and its mnemonic, here in black and one orange letter, is: งูใหญ่นอนอยู่ ณ ริมวัดโมฬีโลก. The second group is referred to as akson tam khoo (อักษรต่ำคู่), i.e. ‘associated low consonants’, and its mnemonic, here in grey, is: เพชฌฆาตเฒ่าใช้โซ่ใหญ่ ฟาดธงรูปนกฮูก ล้มครืนในงานภาณยักษ์.
