Thai script ((タイ語:อักษรไทย); ; (:ʔàksɔ̌ːn tʰāj) ) is used to write the Thai language and in Thailand. It has 44 consonant letters ((タイ語:พยัญชนะ), ''phayanchana''), 15 vowel symbols ((タイ語:สระ), ''sara'') that combine into at least 28 vowel forms, and four tone diacritics ((タイ語:วรรณยุกต์ or วรรณยุต), ''wannayuk'' or ''wannayut''). Although commonly referred to as the "Thai alphabet", the script is in fact not a true alphabet but an abugida, a writing system in which each consonant may invoke an inherent vowel sound. In the case of the Thai script this is an implied 'a' or 'o'. Consonants are written horizontally from left to right, with vowels arranged above, below, to the left, or to the right of the corresponding consonant, or in a combination of positions. Thai has its own set of Thai numerals that are based on the Hindu Arabic numeral system ((タイ語:เลขไทย), ''lek thai''), but the standard western Hindu-Arabic numerals ((タイ語:เลขฮินดูอารบิก), ''lek hindu arabik'') are also commonly used. ==History== The Thai alphabet is derived from the Old Khmer script ((タイ語:อักษรขอม), ''akson khom''), which is a southern Brahmic style of writing derived from the south Indian Pallava dynasty called Pallava ((タイ語:ปัลลวะ)). Supposedly, it was created in 1283 by King Ramkhamhaeng the Great ((タイ語:พ่อขุนรามคำแหงมหาราช)), though this has been challenged. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thai alphabet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
