martin.agren Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I'm thinking of giving my daughter, whom will be 25 % Thai, the name Siranee. What is the proper Thai spelling of that name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin.agren Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 ศิราณี Is it correct that the first syllable is high/rising (as it is a short vowel it's just high, though formally rising?) and the second syllable is low? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric67 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 The first syllable is high, the other two middle tone: sí-raa-nee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard W Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 The first syllable is high, the other two middle tone: sí-raa-nee It should be [L]si[M]raa[M]nii, so no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin.agren Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Are you sure it's a low tone? I know ร can "carry" the sound, but isn't ร part of a new syllable and thus ศิ should be considered as a short vowel with a stop and then it is a high tone?

Short vowel plus stop does not determine the tone. For low consonants the tone is then high, but for high and mid class consonants the tone is low. (The rare exceptions generally mark their exceptionality via a tone mark.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
