പണി തീർക്കു (, Rakesh, finish your work), the use of the second personal pronoun is avoided with the name രാകേശ് (, Rakesh), but this sentence sounds less respectful if the '' in തീർക്കു (, finish} is replaced by the schwa or , as in "തീർക്കു!" (, Finish!) which sounds like an order. Notice the at the end of the name Rakesh which is pronounced after being added to the Sanskritic name. Zhuang-Tai languages Thai Thai has a deep orthography like English and French. Unlike the two languages, however, the Thai script is an abugida rather than a true alphabet. Nonetheless, silent consonants, vowels, and even syllables are common in Thai. Thai has many loanwords from Sanskrit and Pali, and rather than spell aforementioned words according to Thai phonics, the script tends to maintain the etymological spellings. For example, a romanization of the word ประโยชน์ that reflects Thai orthography is , but it would be pronounced as , where the extra letter for -n is completely silent. Another example is the Thai word มนตร์, which is sometimes written as mantra like it would be in Sanskrit, but it is only pronounced in Thai. Though the second syllable is pronounced in Sanskrit, it is completely absent when pronouncing the word in Thai. In such words, the diacritic , known as (), is used to mark silent letters. Also, different letters can be used for the same sound (for example, [tʰ] can be spelled as , , , , , or ) depending on which class the consonant is, which is important for knowing which tone the syllable will have, and whether or not it is a loanword from Sanskrit or Pali. However, some letters written before low class consonants become silent and turn the low class syllable into a high class one. For example, even though the high class letter is used to write the sound /h/, if the letter comes before a low class letter in a syllable, the letter will become , which will make the letter silent and it will turn the syllable into a high class syllable. For example, the word is a low class syllable because its initial consonant is a low class consonant. The syllable is pronounced (with a long vowel and mid tone) and it means "field". However, the word is a high class syllable, despite it containing a low class consonant in the onset.
