The four types include nasals, interrupted sounds, gutturals, and labials. It is said that adding them together can result in thirty-seven types. The first four vowels are divided into short, long, and very long. 'Lir' (ལིར་) is long, while 'E' (ཨེ་) and others are not short. Because 'E' (ཨེ་) and others appear short in Tibetan, 'Om' (ༀ, Sanskrit: ओम्, Roman transliteration: Om, literal meaning: Om) and others are not stacked letters on the ear, and should not be understood as having hair. The guttural sounds do not conflict because they are the same as 'A' (ཨ) and others. Thus, the twenty-two vowel letters have three distinctions: high, low, and medium in tone. Furthermore, they are distinguished by nasal and non-nasal sounds, resulting in one hundred and thirty-two types of vowel distinctions. When those vowels are added to the thirty-three consonants, there are four thousand three hundred and fifty-six types. The distinctions of letter stacking and sound changes are endless, who can fully describe them? It is said that this is how it appears in the treatises composed by Nagarjuna. 'Li' (ལི) should be read as 'du' (དུ), so 'li' (ལི) should also be read as a long sound. Nasal sounds and others are neither vowels nor consonants; this is how it appears in the treatises of the gods. A (ཨ, Devanagari: अ, Roman transliteration: a, literal meaning: A), Ku (क, Devanagari: क, Roman transliteration: ka, literal meaning: Ka), Ha (ह, Devanagari: ह, Roman transliteration: ha, literal meaning: Ha), Kha (ྈྐ, Devanagari: , Roman transliteration: , literal meaning: ) originate from the throat, the realm of space. I (इ, Devanagari: इ, Roman transliteration: i, literal meaning: I), Cu (च, Devanagari: च, Roman transliteration: ca, literal meaning: Ca), Ya (य, Devanagari: य, Roman transliteration: ya, literal meaning: Ya), Sha (श, Devanagari: श, Roman transliteration: śa, literal meaning: Sha) originate from the realm of wind. Ri (ऋ, Devanagari: ऋ, Roman transliteration: ṛ, literal meaning: Ri), Tu (ट, Devanagari: ट, Roman transliteration: ṭa, literal meaning: Ta), Ra (र, Devanagari: र, Roman transliteration: ra, literal meaning: Ra), Sha (ष, Devanagari: ष, Roman transliteration: ṣa, literal meaning: Sha) originate from the realm of fire, from the crown of the head. U (उ, Devanagari: उ, Roman transliteration: u, literal meaning: U), Pu (प, Devanagari: प, Roman transliteration: pa, literal meaning: Pa), Va (व, Devanagari: व, Roman transliteration: va, literal meaning: Va), Pha (ྉྤ, Devanagari: , Roman transliteration: , literal meaning: ) originate from the lips, which is water. Li (ऌ, Devanagari: ऌ, Roman transliteration: lṛ, literal meaning: Li), Tu (त, Devanagari: त, Roman transliteration: ta, literal meaning: Ta), La (ल, Devanagari: ल, Roman transliteration: la, literal meaning: La), Sa (स, Devanagari: स, Roman transliteration: sa, literal meaning: Sa) are the realm of earth, originating from the teeth. Finally, existing in the throat, vowels are born from the throat, and Ya (य, Devanagari: य, Roman transliteration: ya, literal meaning: Ya), Na (ण, Devanagari: ण, Roman transliteration: ṇa, literal meaning: Na), and Ra (र, Devanagari: र, Roman transliteration: ra, literal meaning: Ra) are discarded. Nasal interrupted sounds originate from consonants, and guttural labials are said to originate from interrupted sounds. The first five of the nine vowels are fundamental, and their qualities are A (ཨ, Devanagari: अ, Roman transliteration: a, literal meaning: A), E (ཨེ, Devanagari: ए, Roman transliteration: e, literal meaning: E), O (ཨོ, Devanagari: ओ, Roman transliteration: o, literal meaning: O), Ar (ཨར, Devanagari: अर्, Roman transliteration: ar, literal meaning: Ar), and Al (ཨལ, Devanagari: अल्, Roman transliteration: al, literal meaning: Al). It is believed that Ā (ཨཱ, Devanagari: आ, Roman transliteration: ā, literal meaning: A) and Ai (ཨཻ, Devanagari: ऐ, Roman transliteration: ai, literal meaning: Ai) and others are developed from these. Long sounds are very long, vertical lines and ear sounds, interrupted nasal sounds and final sounds, etc. Autonomous stacked sounds are heavy, while others are light. The fourth of the groups is thick, and the third is thin. Grammarians say that letters are the creators. Completely abandoning the density of being caught in views, only dependent origination exists in the way of guidance. That is the knowledge of the general appearance of sound, and from the entry of sound concepts into a single connection, happiness, suffering, virtue, and non-virtue are produced. These are what can be inferred. When explaining the subtle points of common culture, those who consider themselves to be of the Mantra Vehicle speak nonsense, and saying those words is like exchanging secrets for inferior goods. The excessive behavior of those who pretend to be wise reveals their foolish nature. What other arrangements are there for letters? Although there are many scholars famous in both Chinese and Tibetan, this only writes some methods for pronouncing Chinese characters, and writing this is also for the benefit of others. This passage is about Chinese characters.
