The division of a word into syllables for the purposes of writing does not always accord with the natural phonetics of the language. For example, Brahmic scripts commonly handle a phonetic sequence CVC-CV as CV-CCV or CV-C-CV. However, sometimes phonetic CVC syllables are handled as single units, and the final consonant may be represented:

  • in much the same way as the second consonant in CCV, e.g. in the Tibetan[citation needed], Khmer[1] and Tai Tham[2] scripts. The positioning of the components may be slightly different, as in Khmer and Tai Tham.
  • by a special dependent consonant sign, which may be a smaller or differently placed version of the full consonant letter, or may be a distinct sign altogether.
