How many variations of the Thai R are there?
I've heard the rolled one, the English, and the Chinese one also. Which one is standard and applies to Bangkok? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hey, maybe we should start a list of r's in every language.

Standard Thai 'r' (as prounounced by Bangkok news readers) is a trilled or rolled 'r'.
In ordinary speech (at least to my ear) most people use an 'l' sound or a sound half way between English 'l' and 'r'. You might be able to hear some good standard Thai spoken here: http://www.nhk.or.jp/rj/ram/en/live.ram When it starts up, click on 'Thai' (you can hear the news in 22 different languages at this site). 1 person has voted this message useful |
