Explanation
` ငါ [ŋà] Normal phonation , medium duration, low intensity, low (often slightly rising) pitch
´ ငါး [ŋá] Sometimes slightly breathy , relatively long, high intensity, high pitch; often with a fall before a pause
˷ ငါ့ [ŋa̰] Tense or creaky phonation (sometimes with lax وقف مزمار ), medium duration, high intensity, high (often slightly falling) pitch
^ ا ب پ ت Unaspirated , like /p t k/ etc. in Romance or Slavic languages.
^ ا ب پ ت ٹ Heavily aspirated .
↑ The vowel before the /ɴ/ is always nasalized , and if a consonant follows /ɴ/ , then the /ɴ/ becomes homorganic with the following consonant. It is never uvular, more functioning as a nasal approximant, either alveolar or velar. See here for more details.
↑ A marginal consonant in Burmese, /ɹ/ occurs only in foreign words, and even there is often replaced by /j/ or /l/ .
^ ا ب پ ت ٹ The sounds [aʊ̯] , [eɪ̯] , [ɪ] , [oʊ̯] , and [ʊ] are allophones of /ɔ/ , /e/ , /i/ , /o/ , and /u/ respectively, occurring in ہجا s, i.e. before /ɴ/ and /ʔ/ .
