Seligne2 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Stylized versions of ว รู้ ด ซ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I think the last one should be ซอ โซ่ and not ชอ ช้าง. Easily confused! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruffian Dick Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I don't get the second one. If they're going to write with Roman letters, however, they should keep going until the whole "abugida" is replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooked Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Get used to it. Graphic artists are a bane to people learning a new alphabet as any eight year old will testify. You will find outrageous examples of artistic expression on advertising signs as you go on. The 'S' is the usual street sign version of ร. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I must admit I have come across far more difficult fonts than these. In time you will realise how clear and easy Thai printed fonts are. They are ว รู้ ด ซ (the last one clearly being so soh) Just wait till you get going on handwriting. There's a whole world of discovery waiting for you there.

tgeezer Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 The problems disappear the more you know, even with print. Looking for a ‘ซ’word in the dictionary you discover that you are looking in ‘ช’ when you see word that you are familiar with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuantumMech Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 The one on the right (ซ) looks pretty standard to me. As for the rest, see http://font.cadsondemak.com/foundry/sukhumvit-สุขุมวิท-2/ and http://font.cadsondemak.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Sukhumvit.pdf (particularly page 11). It's a pretty common style, and the type samples will show you how to distinguish between ว and อ, ร and ธ, ผ and พ, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
