Urak Lawoi' language
Urak Lawoi’ or Urak Lawoc (Urak Lawoi': อูรักลาโวยจ, ) is an Aboriginal Malay language of southern Thailand. The Orang (Suku) Laut who live between Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula speak divergent Malayic lects, which bear some intriguing connections to various Sumatran Malay varieties. Notes: In the Thai script, the left column represents diacritics for open syllables, while the right one for closed syllables. For syllables with vowel "ö", before consonants "k", "m", "n", "ng", "p", and "t", the vowel is not reflected. Similarly, the diacritic for "a" is not used before "q". Any vowels with separate closed syllable  diacritics have inherent value of when not used with succeeding consonant. Phonology and orthography. Stress and Intonation.
