Vowel Scripts

 tâchàun ngin ná thaq/tâchàun ngin thè dhè tin

{ un\}       /        { uM}    

Here is the dipthong script { un\ } "tâchàun ná  thaq" which is pronounced "oun". If you combine the consonant {m } and dipthong script { un\ }, you will write {mun\ } and read it "moun". Remember that the dipthong script { un\ } "tâchàun ná  thaq" is interchangable with { uM} "tâchàun ngin thè dhè tin" which is also pronounced "oun". If you combine  {m } and { uM } "tâchàun ngin thè dhè tin", you will write {muM} and read it "moun." { un\ }  "tâchàun ná  thaq" and { uM} "tâchàun ngin thè dhè tin" are used for different meanings. For example, {sun\ } means "to go down stream " while {suM } means "to be complete." Also note that each nasalized dipthong has three different tones and tone marks are consistant: an auq ká mjiq is added for the low tone and shé gá pauq for the high falling tone.. For example, see how {mun\ } is  written in three different tones.
