ALA-LC Lao Romanization Table, 2012 version. Consonants have initial and word-final values (parenthesized source finals occur only in loans and keep the initial value here). Inherent vowel a. ho hip is silent in clusters (ligatures included); subscript lo lut is silent except after ho hip. DO is ʻ word-initially, else a vowel. WO is positional per Note 4 (cluster w, u+a before a final, o word-finally after a vowel). Vowel romanizations always follow the consonant. Tone marks are not romanized. Transcribed from the loc.gov document's complete text layer.
