SIAMESE VOWELS.
Roman character by the resident Portuguese. In
some Alphabets which I have seen, there are five
additional vowels and diphthongs, forming combinations,
however, which it would be difficult to
express in Roman characters. It is to be observed,
that all the vowels in the Siamese Alphabet, with
the exception of the short a, are rather orthographic
marks than distinct characters. They cannot
therefore be written except in combination with
that letter or a consonant.
