The Thai alphabet does not have a letter that corresponds to the English "r" sound.
However, the sound is represented by a combination of two letters:
- ร (ro) - This letter represents the sound "r" at the beginning of a word.
- รร (ror) - This combination represents the sound "r" in the middle or at the end of a word.
Here are some examples:
- รถ (rot) - This word means "car" and starts with the "r" sound, represented by the letter ร (ro).
- ช้าง (chang) - This word means "elephant" and has an "r" sound in the middle, represented by the combination รร (ror).
Therefore, the "r" sound in Thai is not represented by a single letter but by a combination of letters depending on its position in the word.
