The letter ''[[:Category:ya|ya]]'' subjoined to another is represented by the figure [[character omitted]], and occurs in connection with the three guttarals and labials, and with ''[[:Category:ma|ma]]'', thus ''kya, khya, gya, pya, phya, bya + mya''. The former three have preserved, in most cases, their original pronunciation ''kya'', ''khya'', ''gya'' (the latter in [[Abbreviations|ET]]: ''ghya'' [[Abbreviations|s.]] [[2. Remarks#.6|2.6]]). In the Mongol pronunciation of Tibetan words, however, they have been corrupted into ''c'', ''ch'', ''j'' respectively, a well known instance of which is the common pronunciation ''Kanjur'' [[Abbreviations|i.o.]] ''kangyur'', or eleg. ''ka-gyur'' (''bka' 'gyur''). ''pya, phya, bya'' are almost everywhere spoken without any difference from ''[[:Category:ca|ca]]'', ''[[:Category:cha|cha]]'', ''[[:Category:ja|ja]]'' (except in Western dialect before ''e'' and ''i'', where the ''y'' is dropped and ''[[:Category:pa|pa]]'', ''[[:Category:pha|pha]]'', ''[[:Category:ba|ba]]'' along are pronounced.). mya is spoken ny = ''[[:Category:nya|nya]]''.
