How are they pronounced differently by native speakers? I have heard that many final consonants in Tibetan are not pronounced or cause lengthening of the vowel.Malcolm wrote: ↑Thu Dec 31, 2020 2:13 amNo, not to Tibetans.karmanyingpo wrote: ↑Thu Dec 31, 2020 1:45 am I was wondering if chos (choe - Dharma) and gcod (chod or choed - Severance practice) were homophones in Tibetan.

Are the "ch" sounds both aspirated?Malcolm wrote: ↑Thu Dec 31, 2020 2:55 amGcod is higher and sharper than Chos.karmanyingpo wrote: ↑Thu Dec 31, 2020 2:49 amHow are they pronounced differently by native speakers?
