About MLCTS

MLCTS

The Myanmar Language Commission Transcription System maps Myanmar script to Latin letters (e.g. ခ as hk, stacked consonants as coalesced spellings, high tone as : and creaky as .). This tool follows the Wikipedia summary of MLCTS, not the full printed MLC tables.

IPA

IPA here is a rough pronunciation guide (broad transcription, simplified tones). It is not a full phonemic analysis of modern spoken Burmese.
