จุด is very useful word. thanks

If you like จุด you'll probably like ทับ too.

๕=5?

ด=?

[AyG]

๕=5?

ด=?

Yes, ๕=5.

ด is the letter dor dek. However, I suspect that's not what you meant to type.

ค.ศ. [kor sor] is CE or AD.

พ.ศ. [por sor] is BE.

If you like จุด you'll probably like ทับ too.

Took me quite a while before I found out how to correctly say my address in Thai. 123/12 where / is ทับ

1) 3.5% = sum zuuk haa %

2) 2008 = ๒๐๐๘

[Richard W]

1) 3.5% = sum zuuk haa %

2) 2008 = ๒๐๐๘

Can you explain how you get 'z' in a Thai word.

I've never seen a year AD expressed in Thai numerals. On the other hand, expressing a year BE in Western Arabic numerals is commonplace. I'm sticking to 2008 = ๒๕๕๑.

พ.ศ. [por sor] is BE.

Interesting. I don't think I've ever heard [M]phaw [R]saw. I'm just used to hearing it in full - [H]phut[M]tha[L]sak[M]ka[F]raat. It's one of those long words that just trips off the tongue, like [H]rat[M]tha[M]mon[M]trii = 'government minister'.

/z/ isn't that far from /tɕ/, so it's not unreasonable in a personal, informal system. (If the writer is, say, a German speaker, then "j" wouldn't make sense.) I'd be more concerned about the vowel in sum, the terminal consonant in zuuk and the inconsistent vowel lengths. But apart from that (and not indicating tone) it's fine.

Will this help ? ( . ) = จุด = jut

Perhaps it's some weird Burmese accent, transcribed in English slapdash. We then get loss of vowel length, collapse of final stop distinctions, and the replacement /tɕ/ > unaspirated followed by voicing. Two aspects counter that idea:

• Burmese now has a new /tɕ/, sometimes transliterated <ky>.
• Original Burmese /s/ became /θ/, original /tɕ/ then became /s/, and original /ky/ (American notation) became /tɕ/.
