The second revised rule was issued in August 22, 1989, and the third revision is currently under way. The problems exist in the choice of vowels, consonants, and tone markers. This paper discusses whether or not to use tone markers or specific consonants to signify tones in borrowed English words. The current rule prohibits the use of tone markers or specific consonants to signify tones in borrowed words from languages without a tonal system, i.e. Pali, Sanskrit and English. However, tone markers or specific consonants are allowed in borrowed words from languages with a tonal system, i.e. Laotian and Chinese languages. This paper points out the advantages and disadvantages of allowing their usage and proposes a combination of the two ways of thinking, providing that the reasons are clearly stated. Key Words : borrowed words, tone markers, high sound consonants, low sound consonants. °“√„™â ≈— °…≥π“¡¢Õß∑À“√·≈–µ”√«® ≈— °…≥π“¡¢Õß∑À“√·≈–µ”√«® ¡’ „™â Ú °√≥’ ¥— ßπ’È Ò. °√≥’ ‡√◊Ë Õß∑—Ë «‰ª (‡√◊Ë Õ߇©æ“–°‘ ®°“√¿“¬„π¢Õß∑À“√À√◊ Õµ”√«®) ∑À“√À√◊ Õµ”√«®™—È π ª√–∑«π·≈– — ≠≠“∫— µ√∑—È ßºŸâ À≠‘ ß·≈–ºŸâ ™“¬ „™â ≈— °…≥π“¡«à “ çπ“¬é ‡™à π °”≈— ßæ≈ Ò 𓬠Ú. °√≥’ °“√°√“∫∫— ߧ¡∑Ÿ ≈ ´÷Ë ß¡’ ºŸâ ‡¢â “‡ΩÑ “œ ∑’Ë ‡ªì π∑À“√À√◊ Õµ”√«®∑—È ßºŸâ À≠‘ ß·≈–ºŸâ ™“¬ „™â ≈— °…≥π“¡«à “ çπ“¬é ·µà À“°ºŸâ ‡¢â “‡ΩÑ “œ ¡’ ∑—È ß∑À“√ µ”√«® æ√– π‘ µ‘ ∫ÿ §§≈ ·≈–§π∑—Ë «‰ª „Àâ „™â «à “ ç√“¬é
