Guided Reading

The silencing mark helps preserve a borrowed spelling while pronunciation remains Thai.
These are recognition tendencies, not conversion rules
Tone tendency: the last syllable of many loanwords (คอมพิวเตอร์, the -เตอร์) is spoken with a falling or high tone whatever the spelling suggests. Trust the reviewed audio, not the letters.
Loanwords vary by age, source language, convention, and speaker. Learn the reviewed Thai word and audio rather than generating a spelling from English.
Worked payoff — trust the reviewed identity

Use the whole reviewed Thai form. Do not infer its tone or pronunciation from English spelling.
