Pronunciation

This entry needs pronunciation information. If you are familiar with the IPA then please add some! Particularly: “/tàmɔ́ kìaʔt͡ɕàh/ based on ตะเมาะเกียะจะห์ from อนุสรณ์ สถานนท์ (1984), but Halliday's original seems different from it and note that not like Thai, Mon has no distinction in either tone or vowel length.”
