language education update
I have now cunningly isolated nine distinct strains of Thai letter: the birdies, the horsies, the owls, the sneks, the wiggles, the houses, the hooks, and flags, and the et cetera. 🙃
If you thought any of the above categories provided any clue whatsoever to their letters' phonetic properties, friend, you thought wrong. The birdies, alone, are pronounced "j", "k", "n", "ph", and "th".
Except when they're not, like if they're at the end of a word or they're a Sanskrit loan or you forgot to pay your consonant fees.

@zebratron2084 There are 3 Thai students in my Finnish class of 12, and I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that Thai is a motherfucker to learn for *exactly* the opposite reasons that Finnish is.
