===Consonants=== Soyombo contains the full set of letters to reproduce Mongolian as well as additional letters ({{langx|mn|гали|galig}}) used in transcribing Sanskrit and Tibetan.<ref name="L215004"/> Some letters represent different sounds in Mongolian, Sanskrit, and Tibetan. The primary difference between the three occurs in Mongolian, where letters for Sanskrit voiceless sounds are used for voiced [[Stop consonant|stops]], while the letters for voiceless [[Aspirated consonant|aspirated]] sounds are used for voiceless stops.<ref name="L215004"/> {| class="wikitable" |- |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩜|note=ka}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩝|note=kha }} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩞|note=ga }} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩟|color=gold|note=gha{{efn|name=s|group=consonants|Letters used for Sanskrit transcription.}}}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩠|note=ṅa }} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩡|note=ca }} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩢|note=cha }} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩣|note=ja }} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩤|color=gold|note=jha{{efn|name=s}}}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩥|note=ña}} |- |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩦|color=gold|note=ṭa{{efn|name=s}}}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩧|color=gold|note=ṭha{{efn|name=s}}}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩨|color=gold|note=ḍa{{efn|name=s}}}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩩|color=gold|note=ḍha{{efn|name=s}}}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩪|color=gold|note=ṇa{{efn|name=s}}}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩫|note=ta}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩬|note=tha}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩭|note=da}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩮|color=gold|note=dha{{efn|name=s}}}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩯|note=na}} |- |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩰|note=pa}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩱|note=pha}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩲|note=ba}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|color=gold|ch=𑩳|note=bha{{efn|name=s}}}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩴|note=ma}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|color=teal|ch=𑩵|note=tsa{{efn|name=t|group=consonants|Letters used for Tibetan transcription.}}}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|color=teal|ch=𑩶|note=tsha{{efn|name=t}}}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|color=teal|ch=𑩷|note=dza{{efn|name=t}}}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|color=teal|ch=𑩸|note=źa{{efn|name=t}}}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩹|note=za}} |- |{{letter|s=Soyo|color=teal|ch=𑩺|note='a{{efn|name=t}}}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩻|note=ya}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩾|note=va}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩼|note=ra}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩽|note=la}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩿|note=śa}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|color=gold|ch=𑪀|note=ṣa{{efn|name=s}}}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑪁|note=sa}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑪂|note=ha}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|color=gold|ch=𑪃|note=kṣa{{efn|name=s}}}} |} {{notelist|group=consonants}} ====Mongolian==== Mongolian employs a subset of Soyombo consonants, with Mongolian-specific pronunciations. {| class="wikitable" |+Mongolian Soyombo consonants |- |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩜|note=ɡa/ɢa}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩝|note=ka/qa}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩠|note=ŋa}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩣|note=ja}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩢|note=ca}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩥|note=ña}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩫|note=da}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩬|note=ta}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩯|note=na}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩰|note=ba}} |- |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩱|note=pa}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩴|note=ma}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩻|note=ya}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩼|note=ra}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩾|note=va}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩽|note=la}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑩿|note=sha}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑪁|note=sa}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑪂|note=ha}} |{{letter|s=Soyo|ch=𑪃|note=ksa}} |} In Mongolian, a final consonant is written with a simplified variant of the basic letter in the bottom of the frame.
