How to read the pronunciation guide

Tone marks: a = mid, à = low, â = falling, á = high, ǎ = rising. Doubled vowels are long. ŋ is the ng sound; y is as in yes. ɛ, ɔ, ə and ʉ represent distinct vowel sounds. ph, th and kh have a puff of air; th is not English th.

pay, mǎy and ŋ correspond to pai, mǎi and ng in other guides. Hyphens may separate syllables. This is a simplified reading guide, not an exact transcription of the recording. หนังสือ is shown as nǎŋsʉ̌ʉ and เขา as khǎw; naŋsʉ̌ʉ and kháw also occur in fluent speech.

Source provenance

Small, reviewed migration

Adapted from retained FSI lesson 10. Language, pedagogy and rights review remain pending; no new audio is published. The spelling ไม่อ่ะฮะ represents a colloquial reply in the older source. A neutral way to decline this invitation is ไม่ไปครับ (I am not going). It is not a word-for-word replacement of the historical line.
