Regarding the pronunciation of the single letters, as given above, it is to be born in mind, that surds ''[[:Category:ka|ka]]'', ''[[:Category:da|da]]'' + ''[[:Category:pa|pa]]'' are uttered without the least admixture of an aspiration, viz. as ''k'', ''t'', ''p'' are pronounced in the words ''skate'', ''stale'', ''spear''; the aspirates ''[[:Category:kha|kha]]'', ''[[:Category:tha|tha]]'' + ''[[:Category:pha|pha]]'' forcibly, rather harder than the same in ''Kate'', ''tale'', ''peer''; the sonants ''[[:Category:ga|ga]]'', ''[[:Category:da|da]]'' + ''[[:Category:ba|ba]]'' like ''g'', ''d'', ''b'' in ''gate'', ''dale'', ''beer''.
== .2 ==
The same difference of hardness is to be observed in ''[[:Category:ca|ca]]'', ''[[:Category:cha|cha]]'' + ''[[:Category:ja|ja]]'' (''[[:Category:cha|cha]]'' occurs in ''church'', ''[[:Category:ca|ca]]'' the same without aspiration; ''[[:Category:ja|ja]]'' in ''judge'') and in ''[[:Category:tsa|tsa]]'', ''[[:Category:tsha|tsha]]'' + ''[[:Category:dza|dza]]''.
== .3 ==
''[[:Category:zha|zha]]'' is the soft modificationof ''[[:Category:sha|sha]]'' or the ''s'' in ''leisure'' (French ''j'' in ''jamais'', but more palatal).
== .4 ==
''[[:Category:nga|nga]]'' is the English ''ng'' in ''sing'', but occurs in Tibetan often in the commencement of a sylable.
== .5 ==
''[[:Category:nya|nya]]'' is the [[Hindi]] [[character omitted]], or the initial sound in the word ''new'', which would be spelled [[nyu]].


== .6 ==
[[Category: Key Terms]][[Category: Mahayana]]
In the Eastern dialects of Eastern or Chinese-Tibet, however, the soft consonants ''[[:Category:ga|ga]]'', ''[[:Category:da|da]]'', ''[[:Category:ba|ba]]'', ''[[:Category:ja|ja]]'' + ''[[:Category:dza|dza]]'', when occurring as initials, ar pronounced with an asipiration, similar to the [[Hindi]] [[character omitted]], [[character omitted]], [[character omitted]] + [[character omitted]], or indeed so that they often scarcely differ from the common English ''k'', ''t'', ''p'', ''ch''; also ''[[:Category:zha|zha]]'' and ''[[:Category:za|za]]'' are more difficult to distinguish from ''[[:Category:sha|sha]]'' and ''[[:Category:sa|sa]]'' than in the Western provinces (Exceptions [[Abbreviations|s.]] && [[7.
