Many Thai language schools prefer to first teach students to speak. Instead of using Thai script, they write using a transliteration system. With the iOS keyboard from Thaiphonics, teachers and students can now communicate using this style of writing. Want to... • Practice conversations with a classmate? • Message your teacher? • Create study cards on your phone? Thaiphonics gives you the power! Wait...what is a Transliteration System? A transliteration system is the translation of a script based language (Thai) into the Roman alphabet (ABC...). This system has many names: transliteration, pronunciation guide, romanization, rendering to the Latin alphabet, transcription, writing phonetically–the list goes on. Thaiphonics supports all major transliteration systems: • AUA • Cœdès transliteration of Thai • ISO 11940 • Lonely Planet (LP) • Paiboon+ • Royal Thai General System • Thai 2 English (T2E) • Tiger Press Thai • Teach Yourself Thai (TYT) • TLC To accomplish this, Thaiphonics' custom keyboard uses multiple panes to add all the extra characters necessary to write in a transliteration system. Press "123" and then "#+=" to view each screen. Start communicating in Thai today!
