| Phonemic Thai | นิก-คะ-หิด |
| IPA | ník kʰá hìt |
| Royal Thai General System | nikkhahit |
| pronunciation note | 24. The pronunciation of this word illustrates reduplication, where a single written consonant serves as the final consonant of a syllable and is then pronounced again as the initial consonant of the following syllable. | ||
| [noun, loanword, Pali, Sanskrit] | |||
| definition | Anusvara; niggahita; [name of] the mark (อํ) indicating nasalisation (or an unspecified nasal) of the vowel associated with the consonant (such as อิ or อา becoming อึ or อำ respectively) | ||
| notes | The mark is used for writing Sanskrit or Pali, and, apart from (อำ), it is not used in writing Thai. The Pali transliteration is ng (i.e. ง), the Sanskrit is m (ideally with a dot below) or ng, but both may be found. In Sanskrit, it may also indicate the nasal before a following stop consonant—in this case it is transliterated as the corresponding nasal consonant. Kedmanee keyboard position [shift+Y] | ||
