How to remember thai spelling

[djaidee]

P/S. How do you spell your name in Thai ? Is it ใหย่ดี หรือว่า ใจดี ?

There is a spelling mistake, it has to be ใหญ่ดี but that would be written in Romanization "Yaidee" and not "djaidee"; maybe I am just a DJ .... who knows.

Sorry ใหญ่ดี i was thinking in Lao when i typed ใหย่ดี . That's how you spell ใหญ่ดี in ພາສາລາວ. With ຍ ຍຸງ instead of ญ ผู้หญิง . There's no ญ ผู้หญิง in ພາສາລາວ

wow...impressive na ha...Actually after Thai, I want to go study Isan and Lao too.

[djaidee]

Lao is much more easier than Thai as they only use 1 Consonant for every Consonant Sound.

If you already know Thai I think it's very easy to learn Lao.

[RaeNam]

Oh, that's good to know. I thought it would be the other way, Lao is harder...
So, I think I would pursue studying Lao and Isan too after Thai.

[csiam]

You're right djaidee , Lao is simpler . There are only 27 consonants and it must use สระ to spell the words . Without สระ it can't spell at all . To me what makes Lao language interesting is the similarity between the Lao language and my Malaysian Thai dialect สำเนียงเจ๊ะเห .

did Lao have a relatively recent spelling reform to weed out all the stupid idiosyncrasies that Thai insists on retaining? good on them.

It was in 1975.

What you mean to study Isaan? Cos it's no other languages are you refered to laotiane,khmer,kuy,sauy..bla bla bla? These are the indegenous minorities language group in Thailand,but Khmer as i understand there are bout 1 million ppl speaking in northeastern Thailand and the Mekong delta region of Vietnam. I couldn't understand the comment of Betti is he trying to speak the idiom in English maybe i have to buy an idiom words dictionary then,David could you please tell what's relevants on 1975 are the veterans that weed out from Laos???
