===Vowels=== As in other Brahmic scripts, a consonant in the Soyombo script carries an inherent vowel, ''a'', so, for example, the letter {{angbr|{{Script|Soyo|π©}}}} is pronounced ''ka''. Syllables with other vowel sounds are constructed by adding a vowel mark to the base character. So, for example, the syllable {{angbr|{{Script|Soyo|π©π©}}}} ''ki'' is formed by adding the diacritic {{angbr|{{Script|Soyo|π©}}}} to a {{angbr|{{Script|Soyo|π©}}}}. The first character of the alphabet {{angbr|{{Script|Soyo|π©}}}} acts as a null consonant or vowel carrier, allowing formation of syllables beginning with a vowel sound. On its own, it represents a short ''a''. Syllables starting with other vowels are constructed by adding a vowel mark to {{angbr|{{Script|Soyo|π©}}}}. Mongolian uses seven vowels, all of which have a short and a long form. The long form is indicated with the length mark. Diphthongs are represented by adding one of the diphthong markers to a syllable. {| | {| class="wikitable" |+Vowels combined with {{angbr|{{Script|Soyo|π©}}}} |- |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=π©|note=a}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=π©π©|note=i}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=π©π©|note=e}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=π©π©|note=ΓΌ}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=π©π©|note=u}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=π©π©|note=o}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=π©π©|note=ΓΆ}} |- |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=π©π©|note=Δ}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=π©π©π©|note=Δ«}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=π©π©π©|note=Δ}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=π©π©π©|note=Η}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=π©π©π©|note=Ε«}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=π©π©π©|note=Ε}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=π©π©π©|note=Θ«}} |} | {| class="wikitable" |+Diphthongs |- |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=βπ©|note=-i}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=βπ©|note=-u}} |- |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=π©π©|note=ai}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=π©π©|note=au}} |} |} Sanskrit also includes the [[syllabic consonants]] αΉ and αΈ·, which are treated as vowels and may be short or long. Sanskrit transcription also requires two additional diacritics, the ''[[anusvara]]'' {{angbr|{{script|Soyo|βπͺ}}}}, which indicates that a vowel is nasalised, and the ''[[visarga]]'' {{angbr|{{script|Soyo|βπͺ}}}}, which indicates post-vocalic aspiration.<ref name="Ch14.7">{{Cite web|url=https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode10.0.0/ch14.pdf#G41941|title=The Unicode Standard, Chapter 14.7: Soyombo|date=June 2017}}</ref> {| class="wikitable" |- |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=π©π©|note=αΉ}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=π©π©π©π©|note=αΉ}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=π©π©|note=αΈ·}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=π©π©π©|note=αΈΉ}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=π©πͺ|note=aαΉ}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=π©πͺ|note=aαΈ₯}} |}
