นิคหิต nikH khaH hitL

pronunciation guide
Phonemic Thai	นิก-คะ-หิด
IPA	níkkʰáhìt
Royal Thai General System	nikkhahit

[noun, loanword, Pali, Sanskrit]

definition

Anusvara; niggahita; [name of] the mark (-ํ) indicating nasalisation (or an unspecified nasal) of the vowel associated with the consonant (such as อิ or อา becoming อึ or อำ respectively)

notes

The mark is used for writing Sanskrit or Pali, and, apart from (อำ), it is not used in writing Thai.

The Pali transliteration is ng (i.e. ง), the Sanskrit is m (ideally with a dot below) or ng, but both may be found. In Sanskrit, it may also indicate the nasal before a following stop consonant—in this case it is transliterated as the corresponding nasal consonant.
