They are expressed in writing by putting one below the other, in which case several change their original figure. Subjoined consonants.

.2

The letter ya subjoined to another is represented by the figure character omitted, and occurs in connection with the three guttarals and labials, and with 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 ET: ghya s. 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 i.o. kangyur, or eleg. ka-gyur (bka' 'gyur). pya, phya, bya are almost everywhere spoken without any difference from ca, cha, ja (except in Western dialect before e and i, where the y is dropped and pa, pha, ba along are pronounced.). mya is spoken ny = nya.
