Khmer edit

Pronunciation edit

Orthographic and Phonemic
t
WT romanisation tɑɑ
(standard) IPA(key) /tɑː/

Letter edit

ត, ្ត (tɑɑ)

  1. sixteenth letter of the Cambodian alphabet

Usage notes edit

  • ្ដ (្dâ) from (dɑɑ) (ដ្ដ (ddɑɑ)) is homographic to ្ត (្tâ) from (tɑɑ) (ត្ត (ttɑɑ)), and is the cause of a great many misspellings. Many Cambodians do not distinguish between the two subscripts, and type either of them for both subscript letters. They consider that a single glyph does duty for both letters.
  • This letter belongs to the Khmer a-series consonants

Etymology edit

Possibly from Thai ต่อ (dtɔ̀ɔ).
