Could you give me the term (Akson) Tham in Thai letters?<br/><br/>There is a point where I do not understand the message:<br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Richard Wordingham wrote:</cite>...the 'standard' is that it is the low counterpart of the equivalent of cho chan, which is a high consonant in Tai Khuen, Tai Lue and Northern Thai.</div></blockquote> <br/>You are speaking in the preceding part of the sentence about a merger. The 'it' in the quotation is the merger? If 'it' is the Thai/Siamese so so I also do not understand the sentence. My simple thoughts up to now were <br/><span lang="th">จอ จาน</span> = mid class (and therefore phonetically different from the, in the phayanchana, following high and low class consonants)<br/><span lang="th">ฉอ ฉิ่ง</span> = high class<br/><span lang="th">ชอ ช้าง</span> = low class (and "therefore" phonetically identical with cho ching)<br/><span lang="th">ซอ โซ่</span> = low class ... ooops, low class, by shape similar to cho chang, different from it only by phonetics, thus, representing - only phonetically - Lao so sang. I guess a too simple thought as in Lao <span lang="th">ໂສ້</span> is written with so suea, and, therefore requiring mai tho but not ek. <br/><br/>Sorry that I'm posting a request for clarification concerning the quoted part of your post.<br/><br/>Two additional questions deriving from your post:<br/><br/>1. Do you think that modern Lao script is more Khmer or more Tham derived? Eventually a stupid question since Tham may be a variant of Lao (or vice versa) but my guess, comparing the shapes, is Khmer because I see more similarities of modern Lao script with modern Khmer script.<br/>2. The Laotian spelling reform (about 40 years ago): For the script, what did mean it: Only obsolete letters (such as Thai so so??? Thai kho khon, Thai tho montho etc.) were eliminated, or were also new letters introduced --- and, do you have a jpg from the Phayansana Lao before the reform?<br/><br/>Thx a lot in advance.</div> <div class="notice">Last edited by Thomas on Mon Mar 14, 2011 11:34 pm, edited 2 times in total. </div> <div id="sig27937" class="signature">There are three kinds of people: Those who can count and those who cannot.</div> </div> <dl class="postprofile" id="profile27937"> <dt> <img src="/web/20171208015610im_/http://www.thai-language.com/phpbb/download/file.php?avatar=58_1270460928.jpg" width="96" height="64" alt="User avatar"/><br/> <strong>Thomas</strong> </dt> <dd> </dd> <dd><strong>Posts:</strong> 1870</dd><dd><strong>Joined:</strong> Fri Jun 27, 2008 12:00 am</dd><dd><strong>Location:</strong> กรุงบอนไซ</dd> </dl> <div class="back2top"><a href="#wrap" class="top" title="Top">Top</a></div> <span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span></div> </div> <hr class="divider"/> <div id="p27944" class="post bg2"> <div class="inner"><span class="corners-top"><span></span></span> <div class="postbody"> <a name="#p27944"></a> <h3><a href="#p27944">Re: Matching Sanskrit devanagari with the Thai script</a></h3> <p class="author"><img src="/web/20171208015610im_/http://www.thai-language.com/phpbb/styles/prosilver/imageset/icon_post_target.gif" width="11" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post"/>by <strong>Richard Wordingham</strong> » Sun Mar 13, 2011 3:19 am </p> <div class="content">There are two basic script families involved - the Mon family and the Thai family. The Thai family is more related to the Khmer family, but the resemblance is not very useful. The Thai family includes the Sukhothai script, the scripts designated as 'Thai', Thai Nithet, Thai Noi and Lao. The Mon family includes the modern Burmese script (disregard the Shan complication) and the Tham script, i.e. the Dharma script (Thai <span lang="th">ธรรม</span>), including the reformed version. 'New Tai Lue'.<br/><br/>It seems that those who use several scripts are well aware of the correspondences between the scripts, and spelling habits and innovations have been transferred between them. Thus the Sukhothai additions to the script have been copied in the Tham script, and the Lao yo ya (= Siamese <span lang="th">อย</span> functionally and in corresponding words) is common to the Thai Noi, Thai Nithet, Lao and Tham scripts. One can see similar transfers if one looks at the 'Khom script', the Thai and Lao variety of the modern Khmer script used for writing Thai and Lao as well as Pali.<br/><br/>The main difference between Thai Noi and Lao is that Thai Noi did not use tone marks. A tendency to omit tone marks can be seen in older forms of other scripts. <br/><br/>Before the Lao spelling reform, there was an attempt to add or revive the missing letters needed to write Pali (and Sanskrit?) in the Lao script rather than the Tham script. Apart from this, I get the impression the Lao spelling reform had little effect on the complement of the Lao script as used for Lao.<br/><br/>You said you could see no reason for Lanna to have an equivalent of so so - I assume this is because you have heard of merger between the sound it represents and the sound represents cho chang in Northern Thai. This is not what is reported for Chiangmai and Chiangrai dialects, though it seems to have happened in my wife's home village.<br/><br/>The tone-class categories of the consonants are not the same in all Tai languages. For most Tai languages, one can start with a common preliminary division into four groups, and then combine these four basic groups into the two or three tone-classes. (This is the basis of the 'Gedney box', an effective method of summarising tone development in most Tai-Kadai languages.) The divisions, in terms of proto-Tai consonants and the resulting Thai consonants, are:<br/><br/>Group 1: Originally voiceless fricatives, voiceless resonants and voiceless aspirates:<br/>*h(<span lang="th">ห</span>), *x(<span lang="th">ฃ</span>), *s(<span lang="th">ส</span>), *f(<span lang="th">ฝ</span>);<br/>*hr(<span lang="th">ห</span>), *hl(<span lang="th">หล</span>), *hw(<span lang="th">หว</span>); (In SW Tai, *hr merged with *h)<br/>*hŋ(<span lang="th">หง</span>), *hɲ(<span lang="th">หญ</span> or <span lang="th">หย</span>), *hn(<span lang="th">หน</span>), *hm(<span lang="th">หม</span>);<br/>*kh(<span lang="th">ข</span>), *ch(<span lang="th">ฉ</span>), *th(<span lang="th">ถ</span>), *ph(<span lang="th">ผ</span>)<br/><br/>Group 2ː Originally voiceless unglottalised stops:<br/>*k(<span lang="th">ก</span>), *c(<span lang="th">จ</span>), *t(<span lang="th">ต</span>), *p(<span lang="th">ป</span>)<br/><br/>Group ɜ: Glottalised consonants:<br/>*ʔ(<span lang="th">อ</span>), *ʔj(<span lang="th">อย</span>), *ʔd(<span lang="th">ด</span>), *ʔb(<span lang="th">บ</span>). (Thai has generally replaced <span lang="th">อย</span> by <span lang="th">ย</span> or <span lang="th">หย</span> as the tone rules permit.)<br/><br/>Group 4: Originally voiced consonants:<br/>*ɣ(<span lang="th">ฅ</span>), *z(<span lang="th">ซ</span>), *v(<span lang="th">ฟ</span>);<br/>*j(<span lang="th">ย</span>), *r(<span lang="th">ร</span>), *l(<span lang="th">ล</span>), *w(<span lang="th">ว</span>);<br/>*ŋ(<span lang="th">ง</span>), *ɲ(<span lang="th">ญ</span>), *n(<span lang="th">น</span>), *m(<span lang="th">ม</span>); (Thai has generally replaced <span lang="th">ญ</span> by <span lang="th">ย</span> - *j and *ɲ merged in the dialects discussed here.)<br/>*ɡ(<span lang="th">ค</span>), *ɟ(<span lang="th">ช</span>), *d(<span lang="th">ท</span>), *b(<span lang="th">พ</span>)<br/><br/>In Thai and Lao, Group 1 constitutes the high consonants, Groups 2 and 3 constitute the mid consonants, and Group 4 constitutes the low consonants. In these languages, the original voiced stops have become voiceless aspirates. (*ɟ > /s/ makes matters more complex.)<br/><br/>In Northern Thai and Tai Khuen, Groups 1 and 2 constitute the high consonants, Group 3 constitutes the mid consonants, and Group 4 constitutes the low consonants. In these languages (or are they a single language?), the original voiced stops have become unaspirated voiceless stops, as also in Tai Lue and Shan. (*ɟ > /s/, as in Lao and Shan, is known for at least one dialect.)<br/><br/>In Tai Lue and in the Tak Bai dialect of Southern Thai, Groups 1, 2 and 3 constitute the high consonants and Group 4 constitutes the low consonants.

I should be clearer. There is something missing:<br/><br/>--- Have deleted most parts of my preceding post now ---<br/><br/>I recall, several years ago near Yasothon, that a relative was asking me something about the photos, taken at Ko Chang, on the table. I did not understand the meaning of the term 'lup' she used in her question. I had, however, with me a Thai-German dictionary so I asked the lady to show the term 'lup' in this dictionary. She did so, kindly, and started her search in section lo ling ... until <img src="/web/20171208015610im_/http://www.thai-language.com/phpbb/images/smilies/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarrassed"/> ... we need ro ruea ... and now I understood the lady as well, rup, the photos!!!<br/>Thus, how 'lup' will be written in Lao? Guess with lo lot?! Or lo ling?<br/>Asking myself where the lady would have searched for 'elephant' ... in a Thai dictionary?!<br/>As already outlined my thoughts about the relationship of Thai letters and Lao phonetics are <span style="font-weight: bold">without any good reason</span>.<br/><br/>Just the spelling of Lao So So, <span lang="th">ໂສ້</span> , is a disproof of all my thoughts I had about this issue. I would have expected that it is written with So Sang ek but not So Suea tho ...<br/><br/>I'm not so well acquainted with Northern Thai but I would not assume that this So Sang/Cho Chang phenomenon is present in Northern Thai: <span lang="th">เชียงใหม่</span> Chiang Mai ... never seen a transcription using Siang Mai (discussions are more around how to represent the vowel).</div> <div id="sig27967" class="signature">There are three kinds of people: Those who can count and those who cannot.</div> </div> <dl class="postprofile" id="profile27967"> <dt> <img src="/web/20171208015610im_/http://www.thai-language.com/phpbb/download/file.php?avatar=58_1270460928.jpg" width="96" height="64" alt="User avatar"/><br/> <strong>Thomas</strong> </dt> <dd> </dd> <dd><strong>Posts:</strong> 1870</dd><dd><strong>Joined:</strong> Fri Jun 27, 2008 12:00 am</dd><dd><strong>Location:</strong> กรุงบอนไซ</dd> </dl> <div class="back2top"><a href="#wrap" class="top" title="Top">Top</a></div> <span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span></div> </div> <hr class="divider"/> <form id="viewtopic" method="post" action="/web/20171208015610/http://www.thai-language.com/forums/t/linguistics/writing/t5558"> <fieldset class="display-options" style="margin-top: 0;
