manarak Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 does a table exist that shows most of the different graphisms a Thai alphabet character can have? I mean handwriting, printed, bold printed, modern stylized, etc. ? I sometimes have a difficult time recognizing the characters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyG Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 The book AUA Thai Course Reading (http://www.amazon.com/A-U-A-Language-Center-Thai-Course/dp/0877275114) has an excellent appendix which covers various handwriting styles from khǐan tua bancoŋ through khǐan wàt and variants of each letter.
