SHLANA–6: English Loanwords in Tai Tham

These examples are taken from ภาษาเมืองล้านนา, ISBN 974-85472-0-5, pages 151 to 156. Some of these renderings are unusual compared with the native tradition, and are included for that reason. The position of RA HAAM is particularly noteworthy. The pronuciations given are guesswork where Siamese practice and Lanna script orthography conflict. Like above, the test font and the test cases have been contributed by Richard Wordingham whose browser test page for Tai Tham rendering discusses each case.
