There are 44 consonants and 32 vowels in Thai language.
But there are 21 sounds.
In Thai language, there is "R" sound, but most of Thai people pronounce
it like "L" sound therefore no wonder when they say it wrong. It's common
speaking, but it should be pronounced correctly in the formal.
Eg. roong-rian (School) pronounced as loong-lian
krap (Polite word for a man) pronounced as kap
kap means fit in English language (Can say it when you try a pair of shoes or clothes on.)
ruuea (Boat) pronounced as luuea
rot (Car) pronounced as lot, but lot means "discount" in English.
ruu (Know) pronounced as luu
Thai language is really interesting. (paa-saa tai sa-nuk jing jing.)
