Sound:

long [ua]

Writing

Thais add อ to write stand-alone vowels:

อว-

Info: อ is the "silent consonant", it has no sound. It is used when writing vowels as a placeholder for other consonants.

อว- needs to be followed by a closing consonant.

Sample words:

ว is a Thai vowel sound, consisting of multiple Thai letters.

Both อว- and ว are correct. อ is the "silent consonant", it has no sound. It is used when teaching vowels as a placeholder for other consonants.
