Which tones it gives
A live syllable with no mark gets the mid tone. A dead one gets the high tone with a short vowel and the falling tone with a long one. Marks: ◌่ → falling, ◌้ → high.
Kai says
ว is named after แหวน, ring. Its sound is close to English w: round your lips and keep your teeth off your lower lip.
