Thai

The Thai script does not follow a linear sequence of symbols. Vowels that sound after a consonant can be written before, above, below or around that consonant. Tone and length diacritics occur only above initial consonants. The silent symbol occurs only above a final consonant in a syllable. All these characteristics make written palindromes relatively rare. A few are:

• กนก (IPA: [kanok]): "gold" (note: not a palindrome in speech)
• กาก (IPA: [kaːk]): "residue"
• บวบ (IPA: [buap]): "loufah" (note: not a palindrome in speech)
