Tai Viet script serves for writing in three Thai languages: Tai Dam, Tai Don and Thai Son. The total number of speakers is 1.3 million people. However, this alphabet is used mainly in Vietnam.
|
||||
|
||||
Tai Viet is similar to other [block:thai Thai scripts]. This is abugida. Here vowel signs can be placed before, after, above or below the consonant symbol, forming syllables. There are two forms for consonants — upper and lower, and their position shows the tone of the sound.
|
||||
|
||||
In Thai Viet words are written from left to right. Traditionally, spaces are placed only between sentences, but in the recent 30 years Thais have begun to leave gaps between words.
|
||||
|
||||
The last five special characters (AADB-AADF) mean the following:
|
||||
|
||||
[*] human;
|
||||
[*] one;
|
||||
[*] repetition of the previous word;
|
||||
[*] the beginning of a song or a verse;
|
||||
[*] the end of a song or a verse.
