↑Tingsabadh & Abramson (1993:26): The consonant /r/ is realized most frequently as [ɾ], but also as [r], in standard or deliberate pronunciation. In other contexts, however, both of them tend to merge into the lateral approximant /l/, as the clear distinction between the phonemes /r/ and /l/ is consistently maintained only by some speakers. As the second element of consonant clusters, it tends to be omitted altogether (e.g. คริสปีครีม[th]kʰrítpìːkriːm → kʰítpìːkiːm; RTGS: khritpikrim → khitpikim).
1234Tingsabadh & Abramson (1993:26): "In plurisyllabic words, the low tone and the high tone on syllables containing the short vowel /a/ followed by the glottal stop in deliberate speech, become the mid tone when unstressed, with loss of the glottal stop."
