タイ文字, or Thai script, is the writing system used for the Thai language. It consists of 44 consonants, 15 vowel symbols, and various tone marks. The script is an abugida, meaning that each character represents a consonant with an inherent vowel sound that can be modified with diacritics. The origins of タイ文字 can be traced back to the Brahmi script, which influenced many writing systems in Southeast Asia. It is written from left to right and has a unique, flowing appearance, making it distinct from other scripts. Understanding タイ文字 is essential for reading and writing in Thai.
