How to pronounce เดือน

High Low

Mid tone

Flat, neutral level — like a normal speaking tone

เดือน is written duuean and carries the mid tone. Listen first, then copy the pitch — in Thai the pitch belongs to the word the way a vowel does.

Same syllable, five tones

Thai uses pitch to tell words apart. Below is the same syllable on each of the five tones — nothing changes but the pitch. Say your word (highlighted) on one of the other four and a Thai listener hears a different word, or none at all.
