The native alphabet of a language generally only needs to differentiate amongst its phonemes , or the set of sounds which are meaningful in that language.
A true "phonetic" written representation of ethnological speech may not, in fact, be possible; the International Phonetic Alphabet IPA aspires to this lofty ambition and is the most developed effort in this regard. As a general example, phonemic transcription is the process of writing a Thai word with the English alphabet, or writing an English word with the Thai alphabet.
In some pedagogies, the availability of such transcriptions is believed to help the beginning student of a foreign language become acclimated. However, we caution against the overuse of phonemic transcription for reasons outlined here. Some sources use the term "transliteration," instead of "phonemic transcription," but this is technically incorrect as the former refers to a system that maps the writing of one language directly to the writing of another without consideration for the phonetics or phonemics of either language.
Can I buy this site on a CD? Due to contractual agreements regarding some of the data sources that we use, I'm sorry that we cannot release it on CD at this time. Also, our current server technology is not designed with a CD in mind.

What's TIS? What's Unicode? In order to use Thai characters on your computer, you should understand a bit about character encoding. Computers represent alphabetic characters text using numbers, one for each letter. Officially, ASCII uses seven bits a bit is simply zero or one of memory to represent the upper- and lower-case letters from A-Z, digits from , and various symbols and punctuation marks.
With seven bits, 2 7 , which equals possible characters can be represented. Computers process and store eight-bit chunks of data called bytes. With one byte eight bits of memory, 2 8 , which equals possible characters can be represented, so beyond the ASCII characters, another additional characters are available.
A system called ANSI uses these extra characters to represent western characters with diacritical marks various types of accents. TIS is a standard way of using those additional characters to instead represent all the characters of the Thai alphabet. Minor variations on this mapping are known as Codepage or ISO Before Windows supported Unicode, this was the only way to represent Thai on a computer.
You would have to install a TIS font such as "DB ThaiText" and it was your responsibility to make sure that this font was selected whenever you wanted to display Thai. Essentially, it was the end user's responsibility to coordinate things, which isn't a very user-friendly paradigm.
Unicode is a system for using two bytes 16 bits of memory to represent each character. With this system, 2 16 , or , characters can be represented. With Unicode, the Thai letters do not need to share their assignments with any other characters such as accented characters and you can easily mix characters from many languages in a single document with no fuss.
You can copy-paste text between programs with no problems. Although a Unicode text file may be twice as big as an ANSI text file, this is a small price to pay for not having to worry about which character set is used where. All the latest versions of Windows support Unicode the older Windows 98 has partial support for Unicode in order to allow the Internet Explorer browser to work.
Text displayed in the Internet Explorer browser is always ultimately displayed in Unicode, even if the underlying web page is authored with an 8-bit character set such as TIS which is usually the case, in order to save on download time.
