Thai Alphabet Description and Sounds

Sounds of the Thai Alphabet

Much like any other language, the Thai Language is broken into Consonants, as those listed in the Thai Alphabet – and vowels.

Consonants in Thai are categorized into three groups or classes called Middle Consonants, High Consonants and Low Consonants. It is important to remember which class a consonant belong to as the class of the initial consonant in word will partly determine the tones of that word. For more information on the tones of the Thai language please click Thai Tones.

Please click on the letter of the Alphabet to hear the sound. It may take a little time for the sound file to download. We hope you enjoy this Thai Alphabet sound resource.
