Please help-Lao language request
Hello! The Graphic Lab is working on artwork related to Laos, and we need some help to get the proper Lao language text into the artwork. As Thai and Lao are closely-related languages, I ask you to please visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Graphic_Lab/Images_to_improve#Scouting_in_Laos and see if you can help! Thanking you in advance, Chris 06:23, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

ธ and TH
Hello, MITian. Yes, it is true that ธ doesn't sound like TH in English, but IPA gives the phonetic spelling of ท as [tʰ] and [t] for ต. TH in English is represented by [ θ ] as you've known. Furthermore, in Sanskrit romanisation, T is used for ต and TH for ถ (which gives the same pronunciation as Thai ฐ,ฑ,ฒ,ถ,ท,ธ). English T is normally [tʰ] and [t] in most case of clusters. However, Thais with ธ in their name just spell in that way conventionally without knowing the deep reason. You can learn more about phonology of Thai consonants (which I love to edit).
