=== Consonant cluster ===

Tai Tham has three medial letters to form a consonant cluster: medial ''La'' (◌ᩖ a.k.a ''La Noi''), medial ''Ra'' (ᩕ a.k.a ''Rawong''), and medial ''Wa''. Consonant cluster with medial ''Wa'' is the only true consonant cluster where both consonants are pronounced as one phoneme. Consonant cluster with Medial ''La'' and Medial ''Ra'' are considered a false consonant cluster as they do not produce the same effect. They are the remnant of the [[Southwestern Tai languages|Proto-Southwestern Tai]] initial consonant clusters that existed during the early development of Tai Tham before the 16th century.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Tangsiriwattanakul |first=Shinnakrit |orig-date=27 Feb 2024 |title=From Proto-Southwestern Tai to Modern Lanna Tai: Implications From the 16th-Century Phonology |url=http://www.manusya.journals.chula.ac.th/articles/from-proto-southwestern-tai-to-modern-lanna-tai-implications-from-the-16th-century-phonology/ |journal=Manusya: Journal of Humanities |volume=26 |doi=10.1163/26659077-26010011}}</ref>
