how to tell the vowel sound in มด

[Merritolson_19062]

When words don't have a vowel, like นก, how do I know the sound?
This sounds like Noke, but where does a long o sound come from?

Hello,

Thank you very much for your comment. In the word นก , there is vowel ะ hidden between them. In order to know that you have to read about how Thai word are make a cluster and when we pronounce word as it had a hidden vowel. But not all of them are follow the rule, sometime you just have to check the spelling on the dictionary and remember how they pronounce.

Hope you have a good progress in learning Thai.

Have a nice day.

Hi Parissa

Hello,

Sorry, for my mistake, yes the silent vowel in the word นก is โ ะ

Thanks. I must have a mistake when typing it.
