Why สิงหาคม sounds the way it does
Thai tone isn't random — it's produced by four things working together in each syllable: the initial consonant's class, the vowel's length, whether the syllable ends live or dead, and any tone mark. Read the row, get the tone.
| Syllable | Class | Vowel | Ending | Mark | Tone |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| สิง | HIGH | SHORT | LIVE | — | RISING |
| หา | HIGH | LONG | LIVE | — | RISING |
| คม | LOW | SHORT | LIVE | — | MID |
สิงหาคม in a sentence

Common questions
How do you say august in Thai?

What tones does สิงหาคม use?
สิงหาคม has 3 syllables: สิง (sǐng) is rising tone, หา (hǎa) is rising tone, คม (khom) is mid tone.
Is the romanization sǐng-hǎa-khom enough to pronounce it?
