Buddhist monastic titles

Q & A
1

Although I know basically what various titles of monastics implies, I realized that I don’t know specifically what the word “Phra” means in translation as well as other words like Ajahn, Ayya, et al.

Is there a list of Buddhist titles, what they translate to and how and when to use them to address the Sangha?
