Writing in Thai

Writing in Thai involves using a unique script composed of 44 consonants, 15 vowel symbols that combine to form various sounds, and tone marks that indicate pitch. Unlike alphabetic systems, Thai script is alphasyllabary, where consonants carry inherent vowels, and additional symbols adjust vowel sounds. The writing flows from left to right, with no spaces between words, but commas and periods mark pauses. Mastery requires understanding its complex vowels, tone marks, and context-based spelling rules, making Thai writing a sophisticated system that reflects its rich linguistic and cultural heritage.
