Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Thai consonants are split into three groups (High, Mid, Low) to determine the tone of the syllable.

  • Mid class consonants are the most stable for tone rules.
  • High class consonants change tone based on the vowel length.
  • Low class consonants require special markers to change their natural tone.
High (⬆️) + Mid (➡️) + Low (⬇️) = Tone Control
