The spelling for “vowel” is สระ SARA, pronounced with both the “a”’s very short and not as in the girl’s name.

When spelling a word we usually put this word SARA in front of the vowel sound as follows;

	กา	we say “GOR SARA AH”,
	จี	we say “JOR SARA EE”, etc.

In the case of the vowel MYHUNAHGAHT we use its name instead of its sound thus;

จัง

we say “JOR MYHUNAHGAHT NGOR”.

The spelling of words where there are combined vowels and/or Tone Marks will be referred to in Lesson 5.B.3. and Lesson 10.B.4.
