    Thai syllables are classified based on whether the ending is an open syllable with a long vowel or sonorant consonant (live) or closed with a stop consonant (dead), and each syllable is assigned one of five tones - low, middle, high, falling, or rising. The tones are indicated by diacritic marks placed above vowels, with the tone determined by the initial consonant and structure of the syllable. Different sets of consonants are classified as having low, middle, or high tones in open syllables.
