chingching Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 http://www.inter.mua.go.th/Publication/Tha...nguage/Info.htm I looked at the "Hello" chapter. Most looked o.k. But a lot of the English Translation is written with crazy characters like ? and thai characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikker Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 What you're noticing is something you would be much better off to learn. It's based on the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), and uses a 1-to-1 correspondence between sounds and symbols. I believe that transliteration systems which try to represent Thai vowels and diphthongs using multiple English letters, claiming to be useful because no prior instruction is necessary are a hindrance to correct pronunciation. It's simple: Two vowels in a row equals long vowel. The symbol which resembles a question mark (except for the line at the base, no dot) represents a glottal stop. Just pay attention to the Thai and learn the correspondence between the right symbols and sounds. This is how linguists transcribe any language in earth in relatively consistent way. If transliteration is necessary for you, I highly recommend learning a system like this one, or the Mary Haas system. Anything less accurate is like giving a child candy when they should be eating their vegetables. The veggies are better for you in the long run! (And you'll come to like them if you give them a chance.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papillon Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 When this thread started I had a look at the site and saw a use for it myself, but did not print it immediately because I was short of paper. Recently I have several times gone back to it, but clicking the URL always gets me 'This page cannot be displayed'. Anybody got any ideas why? Thank you.

udon Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 To save starting another topic, could someone translate this for me please? ลึก ประเทศอินเดีย thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meadish_sweetball Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 That doesn't quite make sense as it stands unless it is ad-speak... is there more writing around it by any chance? The first word 'leuk' means "deep" and the second 'bpratheed india' just means "India". So if it is an ad or a headline, it probably can be translated as "India in-depth", 'To the core of India' or something along those lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udon Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Meadish, it was given as the location of a farang on a board. Maybe he/she is in central India, but I can't figure out why use the thai language as the forum is about biodiesel & based in the USA. Thanks for replying.

meadish_sweetball Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I see, then he is probably trying to say "Deepest India", "Deep inside India" or even "Darkest India". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
