it is fascinating to see the native language on these signs as it looks like artwork. my handwriting is bad enough in English. I couldbt imagine trying to write some of those characters and be understood.
It is left to right, same as English, but with no spaces between words. Youwouldknowwordbreaksbasedoncontext. Also, each character has only ONE sound. That means lots of characters (44 consonants, 15 vowels) but no questioning the sound! Read, produce, refuse, live, wind, lead... Wednesday, colleagues, knead, island... :)
Wow. I would love to go somewhere like this! I would love to study different cultures! Good luck with the a-z challenge http://myfightinside.blogspot.com/

Thai looks super confusing if you're not used to it. Beautiful, though. We're going to try to learn the language. :)
ReplyDeleteGoing to keep up with this one :) A free trip through the East. Is Thai read right to left or left to right?

Do it! Learning about different cultures helps you gain a healthier perspective on your own. You end up learning more than you expected!
