साँचा:Burmese characters

  1. An allophone of /θ/, not a distinct phoneme.
  2. Unaspirated, like /p t k/ etc. in Romance or Slavic languages.
  3. Heavily aspirated.
  4. The vowel before the /ɴ/ is always nasalized, and if a consonant follows /ɴ/, then the /ɴ/ becomes homorganic with the following consonant.
  5. A marginal consonant in Burmese, /ɹ/ occurs only in foreign words, and even there is often replaced by /j/ or /l/.
  6. Much shorter than the English /s/ in Sue.
  7. The glottal stop, which may also be heard instead of /t/ in some varieties of English in words like button [ˈbʌʔn̩].
  8. The sounds [au], [ei], [ɪ], [ou], and [ʊ] are allophones of /ɔ/, /e/, /i/, /o/, and /u/ respectively, occurring in closed syllables, i.e. before /ɴ/ and /ʔ/.
